Poklič: Hloh i hruša from Malanka Brewery is a fruit sour ale that combines a wild-fermented base with the addition of hawthorn and pear. The beer relies on spontaneous fermentation using natural yeasts and bacteria from the surrounding environment, giving it a rustic character and layered tartness.
Hawthorn brings subtle herbal and floral notes with a gentle astringency, while pear adds juicy, sweet fruitiness that rounds out the profile. The aroma reveals ripe pear, delicate floral honey, and a touch of earthiness, while the flavor balances refreshing fruit acidity with the natural sweetness of the fruit.
The texture is light to medium-bodied, with fine, lively carbonation that enhances the beer’s refreshing nature. Poklič: Hloh i hruša is an example of how Malanka blends local ingredients with spontaneous brewing techniques, creating an authentic beverage with a distinct sense of terroir.
