MALT AND GRAPE SOUR BEER
MALT AND GRAPE SOUR BEER
The sour style is a very old but relatively little known one. It dates back to the origin of beers, when bacteria and wild yeasts fermented spontaneously without any kind of temperature control or fermentation process and brought sour and acidic notes to the beer.
This type of beer has a distinctive sour taste and a high aromatic intensity.

TO BREW DUET WE COMBINED TWO INGREDIENTS: BARLEY MALT AND GRAPES.
DUET is brewed with barley malt must and white grenache grape must. Lactic bacteria are added to this mixture of musts to provide sourness. We then add yeast to round off the fermentation process.

TASTING NOTES
Duet is a sour beer which brings together barley and white Grenache, symbols of the crops and places of our region and of the culture of Mediterranean beverages. This beer’s character expresses the lactic bacteria and ale yeasts which give rise to a sour beer that’s balanced and packed with nuances.
Deep golden in colour, it’s a moderately carbonated beer that's ideal for accompanying fish, shellfish and other seafood dishes.

The nose is intense and exuberant. The bouquet is fresh with aromas of stone fruit, citrus and a hint of tropical fruit.
On the palate it is complex and well balanced. The distinctive sourness of the grape lends tension, verticality and complexity, while the malt adds body, structure, density and smoothness which balance each sip and give it a pleasant persistence on the palate.
We recommend a serving temperature of between 8 and 10ºC in a narrow-mouthed glass that allows the concentration of aromas.
