Spleen et Dreams
Spleen et Dreams — Pacific IPA | De Alchemia, Saracena (CS)
The melancholy of everyday life and the dreamy escape of Australian hops.
Spleen et Dreams is the Pacific IPA from De Alchemia: a beer whose name evokes Baudelaire’s romantic, decadent atmospheres — Spleen et Idéal, from The Flowers of Evil — while the glass delivers an exotic journey created exclusively with Southern Hemisphere hops, from New Zealand and Australia. Golden and tropical, with a dry, refreshing finish. De Alchemia’s summer IPA, born in Saracena (CS), in the heart of Pollino National Park.
Sensory profile
Golden, with a fine, persistent white head. The aromatic impact is a true exotic journey: sweet, tropical notes of mango, passion fruit and papaya emerge powerfully, balanced by fresh, citrusy bursts of pink grapefruit, lime and mandarin zest. A delicate herbal and resinous note appears on the finish. On the palate, the body is light and smooth, with a clean, subtle malt base — reminiscent of crackers and white bread — providing the perfect track for the hop’s fruity explosion. The sip evolves into a dry, refreshing finish with a clean bitterness that leaves the mouth dry and ready for another sip.
