Bottle @ Jimmy43s during their Sidre promo.
Poured for me by the lovely Spanish reps that Rowan brought along. They even got on me for not slurping it down immediately. Love it. Poured into a thin, wide, official Asturias, stubby pint glass.
Tall, forced, pour. Seltzer fizz. Hazy Pale wheat body.
Yeasty, vanilla nose, accentuated by the strong pour.
Tart & dry right off the bat. Tangy, earthy, & a touch soapy. Mild on the usual lemon. Apple peel & light yeast on the finish. I can’t glug 4 ounces over & over of anything funky, without getting a little nauseous, but the palate was definitely buffed up by the forced pour. A pleasant finishing dryness, & with it, more stamina.
Not too crazy or flagrantly wild. A little tired of that actually. Haven’t seen it on shelves yet, so it was probably somewhat fresh considering. Appreciated.
