Eraclea Mediterranean Pilsner

◎ Appearance

A bright golden hue with excellent clarity, showcasing the beer's pale malt character and clean fermentation. The head forms with fine, tight bubbles that cling persistently to the glass, demonstrating strong carbonation and good protein balance. Lively and inviting, with a luminous quality typical of well-crafted pilsners.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with delicate floral impressions—lavender and violet from the Aurora and Bobek hops—layered over subtle notes of blackcurrant and stone fruit. Beneath these, the Eraclea barley contributes a soft, refined grain sweetness with a faint honey undertone. The overall character is elegant and restrained, with no harsh alcohol or adjunct notes intruding.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, well-integrated malt body—neither overly sweet nor thin—that speaks to the quality of the Mediterranean barley. The hops arrive with their characteristic floral and berry character, building into a clean, harmonious bitterness that sits comfortably at 40 IBU. The finish is dry and linear, with the pilsner bitterness lingering without harshness, inviting another sip.

◑ Finish

The bitterness extends into a medium-length finish, echoing the floral and herbal notes without becoming astringent. A whisper of grain sweetness retreats gracefully, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next course or sip.

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
