Junco

Tap to rate

A golden grisette built on triticale, a wheat and rye hybrid, with the rye pushing forward in the flavour. That grain brings a dry, faintly peppery spice and a firm bready backbone, while the yeast lays a lemony, floral lift over the top. The body is light and the carbonation high. It closes dry and grainy, the rye spice hanging on after the fruit has gone.

A bright golden hue with excellent clarity and fine, persistent carbonation. The head retention is lively and tight, forming a delicate white collar that clings steadily to the glass walls.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a pronounced lemony and floral character from the yeast, lifting bright and inviting above the grain base. Beneath this lies the triticale's distinctive dry, faintly peppery spice, which adds complexity and a subtle herbal edge to the overall profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with the rye spice coming through distinctly against a firm, bready Malz foundation. The triticale hybrid creates a grainy, mineral dryness that persists across the mid-palate, while citrus notes weave through without sweetness. Bitterness is measured and restrained, allowing the grain character to remain the focus.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with the rye spice holding its ground well after the citrus lift fades. The beer closes on a clean, mineral note with no residual sweetness.
