Tumba Calzones is a vibrant Saison Rosé that merges the rustic farmhouse character of a traditional Saison with the tart, floral elegance of Flor de Jamaica. The hibiscus imparts a delicate cranberry-like acidity and a distinctive rose-colored hue. This sharpness is expertly tempered by a blend of organic honey, providing a subtle floral sweetness that rounds out the palate without being cloying. The sensory profile is defined by a bouquet of spicy yeast phenols, dried petals, and wild berries. It is a refreshing, sensual experience that balances earthy malt notes with a crisp, dry, and slightly tart finish.
Appearance.Pale pink to ruby-tinted amber; brilliant clarity with a fine, persistent white to light pink-tinted head that leaves delicate lacing.
Aroma.Moderate intensity featuring tart hibiscus (cranberry and floral notes) blended with spicy yeast esters such as white pepper and clove. Subtle honey sweetness and grainy malt underpin a very low herbal hop presence.
Taste.Initial impression is tart and floral, driven by hibiscus petals. The mid-palate reveals a soft honey-like sweetness and crackery malt base. Bitterness is low to moderate, ensuring the floral acidity remains the focus. Fermentation character is dry with peppery phenols and no harshness. The finish is crisp, clean, and refreshing with a lingering floral tartness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high carbonation that provides a prickly, effervescent sensation. Very low alcohol warmth and a clean mouthfeel with minimal astringency from the floral additions.
