Cuvée De Ranke

◎ Aussehen

Pours a hazy copper-gold, with a luminous quality characteristic of mixed-fermentation ales drawn from oak. The cloudiness derives from active yeast and the natural turbidity of the blend. Head retention is moderate, leaving delicate lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with unripe white grape and green apple notes, creating a fresh, slightly austere top note. Beneath lies a foundation of leather and oak from the barrel aging, anchored by a subtle floral hop presence that adds complexity without dominance.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters full-bodied with immediate tartness, building through notes of grapefruit and grass. A mineral edge runs through the mid-palate, supported by gentle wood character that frames rather than overwhelms. The finish is clean, dry, and refreshing.

◑ Abgang

The beer closes dry with lingering brightness, the acidity providing lift and clarity. A subtle grass and mineral note persists, inviting the next sip without heaviness.
