Gooische Bubbel

◎ Aussehen

Pale blond with a luminous, golden hue characteristic of the style. The beer displays a fine, persistent carbonation creating a delicate white head with good Schaumhaftung. Unfiltered and unpasteurised, it retains a light haze that speaks to its living character.

◌ Aroma

The champagne yeast dominates with a pronounced floral character—honeyed and slightly perfumed notes rise first. Spicy undertones emerge, with white pepper and a touch of herbal complexity. A subtle malty sweetness grounds the nose, with hints of fresh bread crust and a dry, winey quality that distinguishes this from conventional pale ales.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and bone-dry, the champagne yeast immediately establishing a sparkling, almost brut character on the palate. Mid-palate brings forward a clean malty foundation with bready, slightly biscuity notes, while the spicy yeast character persists with a fine prickling sensation. Low bitterness (26 IBU) allows the dryness and yeast complexity to lead; the finish is clean and mineral, reminiscent of a fine sparkling wine.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and lingering, maintaining its characteristic dryness and effervescence to the end. A subtle fruity note and white pepper spice persist in the aftertaste, leaving the mouth refreshed and ready for another sip.
