Introducing "Elise" from Penyllan, a remarkable vintage 2018 beer that embodies the essence of barrel-aged craftsmanship and wild yeast fermentation.
"Elise" is a golden ale that has undergone a transformative journey in bordeaux barrels, where it has been patiently aged on fruit from the production of local berry liqueur. Pouring a captivating orange amber hue with a tight white head, this beer immediately captivates the senses.
In terms of taste and texture, "Elise" is light-bodied and bright, offering a refreshing drinking experience. The nose entices with notes of jammy fruit liqueur, unripe raspberries, and a hint of the forest after rain. As you take your first sip, delicate bubbles create a creamy texture that beautifully complements the beer's bright tartness.
On the palate, "Elise" reveals its complexity with flavors of wild strawberries and red currants, accompanied by undertones of rye biscuits and a touch of warm spice. The journey concludes with a gentle acidity that perfectly balances the beer's intricate flavors, leaving a satisfying and elegant warmth from the alcohol.
