Spelt beer (and named as such in Letzebuergisch) made with spelt allegedly cultivated at the nearby Upper Sauer Nature Park. Courtesy of Stefan of the Weerspannige Brouwers. Lacing, off-white, medium thick head, deep ’old gold’ colour, clear. Grainy, lightly earthy and lightly floral aroma of dry hay, sourdough, field flowers, turnip, dried nettles, old dry cheese, bread crust. Restrained ’dried’ fruitiness in onset, hints of unripe stonefruit and raw pineapple, spritzy carbo, grainy and lightly honeyish sweet middle phase with the expected ’deep’ sourishness provided by the spelt, finish adds subtle floral and grassy hops, gently bittering, but the basic malt sweetness prevails. Simply and relatively ’clean’ for the style, pleasant summer quencher.
