Main Squeeze

Tap to rate

Fruity, light, creamy and tart: this pastry blonde ale is brewed with strawberry, nectarine and lemon juice plus lactose, and hopped with Enigma. The malt bill combines barley, oats and wheat. It comes from Alefarm in Greve near Copenhagen, a microbrewery that also works with barrel aging and mixed fermentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent stone fruit and citrus notes—nectarine and lemon juice create an immediate fruity sweetness, while strawberry adds a subtle berry undertone. Behind this sits a soft grain character from the barley, oats, and wheat bill, with just enough Enigma hop to provide a gentle herbaceous balance without dominating the profile. A whisper of lactose rounds out the aromatic picture with creamy softness.

◐ Taste

The palate is refreshingly fruity on entry, with nectarine and citrus flavors blooming across the mid-palate before a gentle tartness emerges from the fruit juices. The lactose contributes a velvety mouthfeel and subtle sweetness that balances the light acidity, while the wheat and oats provide a smooth, almost creamy texture. Bitterness is restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the fruit-forward character to remain the focal point without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and crisp, with lingering citrus notes fading to a whisper of berry and stone fruit. The aftertaste remains clean and refreshing, with no harsh bitterness or cloying sweetness.
