La Pirata / Põhjala Crema Catalana

A sophisticated collaboration between La Pirata and Põhjala, this beer is a sensory deconstruction of the classic Catalan dessert. Built on a base of Sour Saison, it features a complex grist of Biscuit, Caraaroma, and Special B malts that deliver deep notes of toasted crust, caramel, and dark fruit. A subtle inclusion of Beech Smoked malt provides a rustic, savory depth that mimics a caramelized sugar topping. Aromas of cinnamon and citrus zest mingle with the fruity esters of English Ale yeast, while Magnum hops provide a clean, structural bitterness. The result is a balanced interplay of creamy malt sweetness and sharp, refreshing acidity.
