Houleuse

◎ Appearance

Houleuse presents a pale straw color with a characteristic cloudy haze arising from suspended wheat malt and yeast. A generous, creamy white head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine retention. The bright haziness signals the authentic, unfiltered character of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with lively citrus and orange peel, lifted by the brewery's use of actual orange zest. Underlying soft wheat malt provides a gentle, slightly sweet foundation, while coriander spice and a whisper of phenolic warmth from the yeast round out the profile. Clean, refreshing, with no harsh edges.

◐ Taste

The palate enters light and fruity, with the sweetness of wheat malt and stone fruit notes balanced by restrained bitterness. Mid-palate remains soft and refined, with the citrus and coriander playing gently against the delicate grain. Minimal hop bitterness allows the fruit and spice to dominate, finishing dry and crisp.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately short, with a light, refreshing dryness that invites another sip. The lingering note is bright citrus and a faint coriander warmth, without any harsh or astringent aftertaste.
