What happens when you let a wine sommelier handle the beer kettle? Something good, that much can be revealed!
Wine sommelier Stefan Sattran is a friend of the brewers at Maisel & Friends and understands the fine art of wine. With his Indian Ale, he proves that he also knows a lot about beer. In cooperation with Maisel & Friends, he has composed a beer that delights with fresh fruitiness, elegant bitterness and playful floral notes. With sour fruit, infinite lightness and fine citrus notes, his work is reminiscent of the light-footed variety of aromas of a good wine and comes across as wonderfully balanced. The Indian Ale is neither a hop nor a fruit bomb, but a well-balanced mix of hop and malt notes.
When you open the bottle, the amber-colored beer exudes a delicious scent of creamy orange ice cream, delicately roasted nuts, oven-fresh bread, spicy yeast and elegant citrus fruit. All the aromas that you have already heard in the nose are also present on the tongue and combine wonderfully with each other. Bitter notes, fruitiness and caramel sweetness, as well as grainy malt notes, lie well on the tongue with a subtle note and 7.3% alcohol content. Stefan's Indian Ale is an excellently balanced mixture and delights with equal parts hops and malt.
An extraordinary first work for the wine sommelier Stefan Sattran and hopefully not his last collaboration with Maisel & Friends!
