The Púca was a mystical force, manifesting itself in multiple forms. It was believed that beer was created magically, a sort of soup possessed by the spirits; but wild yeast was of course the magic at play. For this cloudy, crisp, tart and fruity beer style, we have fostered our own wild yeast. It brings the complexity, the surprise, and it certainly bring the magic.
Description:
A beautiful pink mixed fermentation beer, brewed with our house cultivated wild yeasts.
Using our Púca Lemon as the base beer, we then added loads of ginger to the oil followed by additions of hibiscus, rose hips, strawberries, raspberries and elderberries.
Tasting Notes:
A tart and refreshing wheat beer brewed with oats, lemon peel, ginger and coriander.The flavour and aroma are dominated by fresh citrus and hibiscus notes. Beautifully balanced acidity, with an ultra refreshing finish.
Ingredients:
Water, barley, wheat, oats, lemon, coriander, hibiscus, ginger, rosehips & berries.

Lattina. Il gusto al naso va sul floreale. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto nuvoloso. Il colore è rosato. Il corpo è leggero e scorrevole. L'amaro è leggero. L'acido, da frutta, è leggero. L'intensità gustativa è normale. La costanza gustativa è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. In bocca l'aroma riporta sentori di agrumi, lampone, rabarbaro, limone, acetico e zenzero.
