Ablek

◎ Aussehen

Ablek presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The carbonation is lively and visible, creating a gently effervescent presence that speaks to its traditional bottle refermentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with distinctive peppery and spicy notes from the rustic farmhouse yeast, layered beneath delicate wildflower florals and a whisper of light citrus. Herbal undertones emerge alongside the subtle grain character of Pilsner malt, creating a complex and inviting aromatic profile that feels both refined and rustic.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is dry and crisp, with the farro malt adding a gentle, grainy texture and the candi sugar lending a clean fermentation character without residual sweetness. Spice and pepper from the yeast dominate the mid-palate, while the Mittelfrüh, Cascade and Amarillo hops provide restrained bitterness and herbal-citrus notes in careful balance.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately short, with the bitterness fading gracefully into a lingering peppery aftertaste and a light herbal echo that encourages another sip.
