◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinctive green grape and yuzu citrus notes, creating a refreshing and slightly exotic aromatic profile uncommon in traditional golden ales. Subtle floral and herbal undertones emerge, courtesy of the champagne yeast's unique character, while restrained noble hop aromas provide gentle balance. The overall impression is clean and crisp, with no harsh or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright honey sweetness complemented by fresh citrus notes that evolve mid-sip into crisp, clean grain characteristics. Effervescence plays a crucial role, creating a sparkling mouthfeel that enhances the overall refreshment factor. The moderate 18 IBU bitterness is well-integrated, never overpowering, allowing the delicate balance between malt sweetness and hop spice to shine through.

◑ Finish

The finish is remarkably clean and dry, with the champagne yeast character providing an elegant, almost wine-like conclusion. Light caramel notes fade gracefully, leaving no cloying aftertaste, just a pleasant memory of citrus and subtle malt complexity.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
