Clef Hruskov zavitek, Pastry Sour Ale with Pears, Walnuts And Maple Syrup

Overview

Pear, walnut and maple syrup aren't typical sour ingredients, but in Hruskov Zavitek from Clef Brewery they form the backbone of the beer.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, expect sweet pear and a touch of maple syrup, followed by a mild walnut bitterness on the palate. The naturally tart sour base keeps things bright and stops the beer from tipping into dessert territory, with a finish that circles back to ripe pear.

Brewery

Clef Brewery is a family-run microbrewery in Slovenia's hop-rich Savinja Valley, where music plays as central a role as the brewing itself.

Serving

Serve around 6-8°C in a tulip glass, alongside walnut cake or a fruit-forward dessert.
