Forelle

◎ Appearance

Forelle presents a light golden hue with a luminous, slightly hazy character that speaks to its unfiltered nature. A modest white head forms on the pour and settles into a light ring of lacing along the glass. The cloudiness is delicate—fine yeast particles suspended throughout lend a soft, inviting opacity rather than opacity rather than turbidity.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with gentle honey and biscuit-crust notes from the malt bill, showing the Bavarian Pilsner and pale caramel character without heaviness. Spalter Select contributes a soft floral suggestion in the background, adding a whisper of herbal refinement. The overall impression is clean and restrained, with no sharp edges or extraneous fermentation notes—a hallmark of the Franconian yeast's work during cold maturation.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with malty sweetness and the honey-bread character carrying through cleanly. The mid-palate remains balanced and refreshing, without cloying sweetness, while Spalter Select provides a delicate floral backdrop. Bitterness is measured and gentle—22 IBUs provide structure without assertiveness, allowing the malt foundation to remain the focal point.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and moderately dry, with lingering honey and bread notes fading into a clean, refreshing aftertaste. The bitterness settles softly, leaving the palate ready for another sip rather than lingering assertively.
