Cyclic Pansa Blanca Oriol 33cl

Cyclic Pansa Blanca Oriol 33cl is a hybrid-inspired sour beer that explores the intersection of the brewing world and natural winemaking. Crafted with organic Pansa Blanca (Xarel·lo) grape skins from Oriol Artigas, this release incorporates an eight-day maceration on a sour base, creating a beer that is complex, lively, and deeply rooted in the Mediterranean landscape. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it maintains a fresh, crisp, and natural expression, perfect for those seeking wilder, more gastronomic fermentation profiles.

Characteristics:

Alcohol Content: 6.1% ABV

Serving Temperature: 7 – 9 ºC

Character, Flavor, Aromas:

The nose is dominated by fresh notes of white fruit, citrus zest, green apple, dried flowers, and a distinct vinous character derived from the Pansa Blanca. The skin maceration imparts hints of fresh must, grape skin, and a slight tannic sensation that adds depth. On the palate, it is dry, vibrant, and crisp, with a defined yet elegant acidity, light body, and a mineral finish. The overall experience is more reminiscent of certain pét-nats or minimal-intervention natural wines than a conventional beer, offering a highly unique hybrid experience.

Food Pairing:

Ideal alongside oysters, ceviches, artisanal pickles, fresh goat cheese, white fish tartares, or fermented vegetable dishes. Its acidity and dry profile also pair very well with Mediterranean rice dishes, minimalist Japanese cuisine, and dishes where minerality, freshness, and texture are the protagonists.

An essential release for those exploring the frontier between sour beer, natural wine, and contemporary fermentations
