SPELT WHEAT BEER
We have allowed the flavour of the malted wheat used in this beer to be the main characteristic, as much for taste and aroma as for its nutritional value. It is a clear yellow beer with a fruity flavour typical of wheat beers, with a marked sweetness and creaminess. Interesting and curious.

Draft sample @ Barcelona Beer Festival ’25.
Dorée/pâle, col fin blanc.
Arôme dominé par un effet belge dont les esters – léger floral, qcq éléments houblonnés nobles, mais sans plus. J’attendais plus de l’apport de l’épeautre – ici, ce côté levure belge reste trop présent, et au départ je me forçais à chercher le côté épicé qui n’est pas présent.
Palais sur un profile assez belge – je note pas mal d’esters, vendu comme une ‘spiced beer’ mais ici c’est juste un usage marqué de l’épeautre. Un peu d’esters qui restent présents tout au long – effervescence faiblarde.

Bottle: Poured a bright pale yellow color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of lemony notes with weird unrefined grain notes is not the most pleasant. Taste is also dominated by lemony notes which are not the most pleasant with some unrefined grainy malt notes. Body is light with good carbonation. I am generally quite favourable to the use of different cereal in beers but in this particular case it did nothing to enhance the flavours profile.
