Gloria – Vespaiolo Ale

◎ Appearance

A pale, hazy golden pour with fine suspended particles from wild yeast fermentation. The head is delicate and airy, settling into fine lacing that clings lightly to the glass. Bright carbonation rises steadily, giving the beer an effervescent, wine-like presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright, winey stone fruit notes—subtle white grape and orchard character from the Vespaiolo itself. Wild yeast brings a gentle farmhouse complexity: white pepper, subtle floral hints, and a faint phenolic whisper. Underlying wheat grain and soft herbal notes provide quiet earthiness without aggressive funk.

◐ Taste

The palate enters light and crisp, with a silken mouthfeel that blurs the line between beer and wine. Wheat provides soft, pillowy structure; the blended Vespaiolo contributes dry, mineral acidity and a faint phenolic bite. Bitterness is restrained and integrated, allowing the wine yeast's dry finish to dominate without sharp edges.

◑ Finish

A long, clean finish with lingering dryness and faint herbal tannin. The wine influence persists in the aftertaste, leaving the palate crisp and refreshed rather than sweet or heavy.

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

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.
