Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for La Rúa Tentación

◎ Appearance

Pale straw-yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, fine-bubbled head that settles to a thin, persistent collar. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating fine streams of bubbles that rise steadily through the glass. Light clings to the surface, giving the beer a luminous quality characteristic of the witbier style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and subtle orange peel—layered over soft wheat grain and a delicate herbal spice. Coriander and a whisper of black pepper emerge as secondary aromatics, adding complexity without dominating. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no harsh edges or solvent character.

◐ Taste

The palate leads with a clean, grainy sweetness from the wheat, followed immediately by citrus and a gentle warming spice that suggests both coriander seed and black pepper. Bitterness is restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the subtle herbal and fruit notes to shine. The mouthfeel is light and dry, refreshing rather than filling.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and clean, with citrus notes fading to a dry, slightly peppery aftertaste. No lingering astringency or residual sweetness; the beer leaves the palate ready for the next sip.

Serve at 5–8°C

Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.

Witbier glass

The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.

Best consumed fresh. Citrus and spice notes fade after 3–4 months. Drink within 6 months of packaging.
