SeaQuench Ale

Tap to rate

Lime leads from the first sniff, with spiced citrus aromas; on the tongue it is tart and limey with a sweet mouthfeel, the slightly bitter depth of black lime, a touch of salt and a bit of malt sweetness in the finish. A wheat beer that mashes up Kölsch, Gose and Berliner Weisse, brewed in so-called SEAquential order with lime juice, lime peel, black limes and sea salt. 4.9 % ABV.

◌ Aroma

Lime dominates the nose, both fresh juice and zest, followed by subtle spiced citrus notes. Behind the citric intensity lies a gentle wheat character and soft mineral undertones from the sea salt, creating a complex yet cohesive aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The entry is tart and lime-forward, with immediate juiciness balanced by a slight sweetness from the malt foundation. The mid-palate reveals the distinctive peppery depth of black lime alongside a subtle saline quality, while a touch of residual malt sweetness emerges in the finish without overshadowing the sour drive.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and refreshing, with the tartness and salt lingering moderately long on the palate. A faint bitter edge from the black lime fades into clean, thirst-quenching dryness.
