Assembly Day, Beer Night/ Día de Asamblea, Noche de Cerveza

Today was quite an interesting day as I had the role of a polling station member in the election of authorities for the Paraguayan section of Amnesty International, which occupied much of the morning and nearly until noon.

Although I have been a voter since I reached the legal age, I had never before served as a vote receiver, so the experience was entirely new to me.

Taking advantage of my stay in the capital—where I have the opportunity to choose from more than four or five beer brands—I decided to discover a new variety worthy of an entry in the #BeerSaturday Challenge, edition 409.

Following my trend of selecting Paraguayan beers, this time I opted for an artisanal wheat beer from Cervecería Artesanal Sajonia.

The Sajonia Naranjito is a beer made from malted wheat and barley, along with American hops. Its special touch comes from the addition of bitter orange peels during brewing, which imparts citrus notes and an extra bitterness that enhances the hoppiness.

For a wheat beer, its bitterness feels stronger than the 15 IBU indicated on the label, and its color is an intense golden hue with little foam.

The label mentions that it won an award at the World Beer Awards in London 2019 for being the best beer in its style.

For my personal taste, it is more bitter than I expected for a wheat beer. The name initially led me to think it would be smoother and sweeter. I believe that if they had called it Apepu'i¹, it would better reflect the characteristics that come through in its flavor.


¹ Apepu'i is the Guaraní name for Bitter Orange.

El día de hoy fue bastante interesante ya que me tocó ser miembro de mesa en la elección de autoridades de la sección paraguaya de Amnistía Internacional, y nos ocupó buena parte de la mañana y casi hasta el mediodía.

Si bien soy votante desde que cumplí la mayoría de edad, nunca antes estuve como receptora de votos, y la experiencia fue totalmente nueva para mí.

Así es que, aprovechando mi estancia en la capital, en donde tengo oportunidad de elegir entre mas de 4 o 5 marcas de cerveza, me dispuse a descubrir una nueva variedad que mereciera la pena una entrada en el #BeerSaturday Challenge en su edición 409.

Siguiendo con la línea de elegir cervezas paraguayas, en esta ocasión me decanté por una cerveza artesanal de trigo de la Cervecería Artesanal Sajonia.

La "Sajonia Naranjito" es una cerveza de trigo y cebada malteados y lúpulos americanos. El toque especial es el agregado de cáscaras de naranja agria durante su cocción, lo que añade notas cítricas y a la vez un amargor adicional que refuerza al del lúpulo.

Para ser una cerveza de trigo, el amargor se siente mayor a los 15 de IBU de la etiqueta, y su color es dorado intenso con poca espuma.

La etiqueta menciona el galardón obtenido en los World Beer Awards de Londres 2019 como mejor cerveza en su estilo.

Para mi gusto particular, para una cerveza de trigo es más amarga de lo que esperaba y el nombre me dió la impresión de que sería más suave y dulce. Creo que si la hubieran llamado "Apepu'i"¹ reflejaría mejor las características que se saborean en ella.
