Benidorm Brutalism

◎ Appearance

Pours a striking red-purple hue, bright and translucent with fine carbonation visible throughout. The head is modest but persistent, with delicate lacing that clings to the glass. The color deepens toward garnet at the edges, characteristic of a fruit-forward Berliner Weisse.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with mixed berry fruit — raspberry, strawberry, and blackberry dominate, supported by subtle redcurrant and blueberry notes. Wheat provides a soft, grainy undertone that anchors the composition. The acidity is apparent but not aggressive, adding a refreshing sharpness that invites the first sip.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and immediately tart, with bright berry flavors unfolding across the palate — blackcurrant and blueberry join the stone fruit notes. The wheat backbone provides body without heaviness, while the acidity stays dry and structured rather than smoothie-like. Low bitterness (14 IBU) allows the fruit and tartness to occupy the foreground throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately short, with tartness lingering pleasantly on the palate. A whisper of fruit persists in the aftertaste without cloying sweetness, leaving the mouth refreshed and ready for another sip.
