MEADMAKER NOTES
"Acertijo is a blend of 60% wild ale and 40% wild mead aged for 18 months and conditioned in the bottle.
The wild ale was made with our native corn malt and fermented with our wild bamboo yeast culture.
The wild mead was an open fermentation made with rainforest honey, bamboo cuttings and wild bamboo yeast.
The mixture was macerated with the ultra exotic fruit “Eugenia Victoriana” known as Victoriana or sundrop. An exquisitely complex, intense, aromatic and tropical fruit.
Acertijo is full of layers of aromas and flavors that will evolve with each sip. And from the moment you uncork the bottle you will have no doubt that an adventure awaits you.
Its aroma begins with delicate notes of orange flowers and bergamot. Which quickly evolve into notes of tropical and citrus fruits intertwined with a subtle but persistent barnyard funk. Notes of Biribá, Jack fruit and mandarin come to light. Subtle notes of lemongrass give way to a peculiar and unique aroma, a different “grassiness”, a puzzle of aroma… But not for those who have been in a bamboo forest on a windy day. It is the aroma of dried bamboo leaves, which shows you the root of this libation.
The complexity of the flavor is not far behind. " - Alejandra Araya

10–12°C (50–54°F)
The best temperature to serve ACERTIJO is between 10°C and 12°C. This temperature allows the beer's complex layers of aromas and flavors to stand out, from the fruity and citrus notes to the subtle barnyard funk.
For more information, see our blog post on Ideal Temperatures for Serving Honey Wines, Meads, and Beers .
For ACERTIJO, we recommend using a tulip glass. The shape of the tulip glass, with its wide body and narrower opening, allows the aromas to be concentrated and directed towards the nose, which is ideal to fully appreciate the aromatic complexity of this beer. Additionally, the glass design also helps maintain good foam retention.
ACERTIJO should be kept in a cool, dark place, ideally at a constant temperature of around 12°C. Avoid exposing the beer to direct light and sudden changes in temperature, as these factors can negatively affect its flavors and aromas. ACERTIJO bottles are sealed with cork, so they should be stored on their side to keep the cork moist and prevent oxygen from entering. However, for short-term storage, the bottles can be stored upright.
ACERTIJO, being a blend of wild ale and wild mead with open fermentation and long aging, has a relatively long shelf life. It can be preserved and enjoyed for up to 3 years after bottling, as long as it is stored properly. Over time, its flavors and aromas can evolve and develop, offering an even richer and more complex tasting experience.
