Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Pours a beautiful golden colour with a firm white head that provides excellent lacing.
- Aroma: The nose is greeted with a delightful mix of spices, predominantly clove and black pepper, followed by fruity notes of banana, citrus, and pineapple.
- Flavour: On the palate, it starts sweet with a hint of Seville orange peel, quickly balanced by a subtle bitterness. The interplay between the sweet and bitter flavours makes it a complex and enjoyable drink.
- Mouthfeel: This beer has a substantial body, offering a smooth mouthfeel that finishes with lingering marmalade and sweet spice notes.
Food Pairings: The complex spice and citrus profile of Déjà Vu Hopfenweisse pairs well with a variety of dishes. Its ability to cut through rich, umami flavours makes it an excellent companion for charred octopus with chilli and lime, or a smoked ham hock sandwich with grilled gruyère and pickles. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, try pairing it with a fiery Pad Kee Mao (Thai Drunken Noodles). For dessert, a crisp apple strudel provides a classic, complementary finish.
