The Greek word τέλειος ("téleios" in Latin script) describes things, situations, or people that are perfect, complete, or magnificent. The expression can be found in the Bible, but also in entirely secular spheres: The Nuremberg brewery Orca, for example, has a beer with this name in its range.
Their culinary interpretation is a full-bodied bock beer, refined with Greek mountain herbs. This strong beer combines the gentle power and caramel sweetness of a classic bock with the tart freshness and playful floral notes of the finest mountain tea. Spice and herbs blend seamlessly to create a palatable delight that deliciously combines wanderlust and home.
Téleios flows into the glass in the ruby red of the setting sun, adorned with a fluffy cap of ivory foam. The scent of freshly picked meadow herbs and a hint of roasted grain entices the first sip. The flavor profile is rooted in a stable bock beer: sun-ripened grain, melting caramel, and warm spice. The mountain tea, on which the brew was aged for several weeks, contributes a wealth of floral undertones and a delightful, almost minty freshness. A crisp bitterness rounds out the aromatic interplay.
If you want to extend your summer or dream of a few delicate moments in picturesque Greece, Orcas Téleois is the right choice!
