Gordelícia (regular Version)
Cervejaria Urbana

 

 

On-tap at Let's Beer, on to the beer:

Gordelícia is a reference used to describe lovely ladies who carry a little extra in them. With that in mind, one might have expected a beer stronger than 7.5% ABV, but there's no denying that this is tasty. Candied apricots and coriander notes (though I'm told that spice isn't used, must be the yeast talking) make much of the profile which makes Gordelícia delícia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Golden amber color with a two finger head with medium retention. Gets really hazy and towards brown in the last pour.
Quite nice sweet aroma of Belgian yeast, vanilla, over matured oranges.
Predominant sweet taste of pineapple and oranges with notes of Belgian yeast, malt, caramel e floral hops. Dry aftertaste with a medium perceived bitterness despite of its 35 IBUs.
Lightly perceptible alcohol that fits style.
Full body with low carbonation.
Flavorful and refreshing, between this one and its “fatter” version, I preferred the 9% ABV one. It is the kind of beer that grows over time during the degustation, at first it was ok and it got better and better, don’t share your degustation bottle.
