Rosel

Tap to rate

Rosel is inspired by Bavarian Helles and brewed the traditional way, with a decoction mash. The grist is a single Pilsner malt, the hop is Spalter Select in a light dose, and a Bavarian lager yeast does the fermenting. It is straw-yellow and clear, moderately bitter and very dry, with delicate honey and a finely herbal, floral hop note.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Rosel

◎ Appearance

Rosel presents a pale straw-yellow hue with excellent clarity and a bright, luminous quality characteristic of the Helles style. The head forms quickly with fine, white foam that maintains good retention and lacing on the glass throughout drinking. Carbonation is evident and well-integrated, creating a lively but refined visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with delicate honey notes derived from the single Pilsner malt base, offering a soft, slightly sweet impression. Spalter Select hops contribute a refined herbal and floral character that remains understated and elegant, never aggressive. A clean, neutral backdrop from the Bavarian lager yeast allows the malt and hop aromatics to shine without competing aromas.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and moderately dry, with the Pilsner malt providing a gentle, grainy foundation without heaviness. Mid-palate shows the honey character more distinctly, balanced by the light herbal-floral hop presence and a controlled 18 IBU bitterness that builds gradually. The finish is crisp and clean, with the dryness becoming more pronounced as the beer transitions from palate to throat.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium in length, with a lingering dryness that cleanses the palate and invites the next sip. Herbal and floral echoes fade gradually, leaving no harsh or astringent aftertaste.
