Delhi Licious is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer inspired by the traditional Indian lassi, utilizing a base of passion fruit to drive its tropical character. The sensory experience is led by an intense aromatic profile of fresh passion fruit, supported by a sophisticated blend of nutmeg and cardamom which provides a warm, earthy spice layer. Its texture is notably silky and creamy, mimicking a smoothie, while a controlled lactic acidity and a subtle touch of salt provide a bright, refreshing counterpoint. This complex ale balances its bold fruit esters and spice additions against a clean, wild fermentation profile for a refreshing yet indulgent finish.
Appearance.Opaque and dense with a deep golden to pale orange hue, resembling a fruit smoothie. It features a thick, creamy, off-white head with moderate retention and significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of fresh passion fruit dominate, creating a tropical fruit bowl effect. Clearly identifiable notes of warm cardamom and earthy nutmeg provide complexity, supported by a light lactic tartness and a clean, bready malt backdrop.
Taste.An initial punch of tart passion fruit is followed by a silky mid-palate of creamy sweetness. A moderate lactic sourness is balanced by a subtle saline quality that enhances the fruit flavor. Warm spice notes of nutmeg and cardamom emerge in the finish, providing a long, aromatic aftertaste with very low hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full to full body with a thick, silky-smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate, balancing the creaminess. A gentle lactic snap provides a clean mouthfeel without harshness, accompanied by well-integrated alcohol warmth.
