Tres Cordilleras Mestiza

◎ Appearance

Light straw yellow with a hazy, cloud-like suspension from active yeast. The dense, creamy white head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation is moderate and steady, befitting the style's traditional character.

◌ Aroma

Bright passion fruit tartness leads the nose, backed by the classic Hefeweizen markers of clove and subtle banana from the yeast fermentation. Wheat malt contributes a light, doughy sweetness that grounds the tropical top notes without obscuring them.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with maracuyá acidity cutting cleanly across the palate. Mid-palate develops the wheaty, slightly phenolic spice character typical of the style, while the tropical fruit adds brightness and prevents heaviness. Bitterness is gentle and well-restrained, allowing fruit and spice to remain the focal point.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and brisk, with the passion fruit tartness lingering pleasantly alongside a subtle yeasty minerality. No cloying sweetness remains; the beer invites another sip.

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
