Chorister

◎ Appearance

Chorister presents a warm chestnut hue, clear and bright under light. The head forms with moderate density and displays good Schaumhaftung, clinging to the glass in fine lace patterns as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is gentle and persistent, characteristic of a cask-conditioned ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft, biscuity Malz notes—toasted grain and subtle caramel tones predominate. Edelhopfen character is restrained and earthy, providing a gentle floral backdrop without dominating the bouquet. A light fruity note from the ale yeast adds warmth and complexity to the overall aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with a pronounced malty sweetness that carries through the mid-palate without cloying. The bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, rising gradually to provide structure without overshadowing the Malz character. The balance favours the warm, grainy foundation, allowing the modest hop bitterness to enhance rather than dominate the flavour.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length and warming, with lingering Malz sweetness and a gentle, drying bitterness that fades gradually. A pleasant malt-driven aftertaste persists without harshness.
