hopIQ found 10 beers with the same light and yeasty character as Gloria – Vespaiolo Ale. A beer fermented with wine yeast — not a cultured strain, but the wild yeast growing on the Vespaiola grapes themselves. Oedipus visited the Contrà Soarda winemaking family in northern Italy in 2019 and came back with wine, yeast and barrels. Gloria is what came of it: a witbier and a light saison, blended with their 2021 Vespaiolo, an Italian white. At 8 percent it sits closer to wine than to beer — and is still both. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
Closest match: Estrella Damm Inedit — 64%. No twin in the catalogue yet.
