La Pirata / Austmann Tepache

This collaborative Saison interprets the Mexican Tepache tradition, utilizing a sour mash process and fresh pineapple to create a vibrant sensory experience. The aroma is a complex weave of tropical pineapple esters and classic black pepper phenols typical of Belgian yeast. The addition of yogurt provides a unique, soft creaminess and a subtle lactic tang that complements the sharp, refreshing acidity. It presents as a pale gold, effervescent ale with a rustic, grainy backbone. The finish is remarkably dry, leaving a lingering impression of sun-ripened fruit and spicy yeast character, embodying a modern farmhouse profile.
