Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Appenzeller Quöllfrisch Naturtrüb

◎ Appearance

Golden-yellow with pronounced natural cloudiness from suspended yeast and protein, creating a soft, diffuse appearance. Fine carbonation supports a creamy white head with good retention and lacing. The turbidity is clean and appetizing rather than harsh.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe orchard fruit—apple and slight pear—layered beneath bread-dough and fresh yeast character. Noble hops (Hallertauer) contribute delicate floral and herbal undertones without asserting dominance. Mineral notes from the water round out a complex but balanced aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with immediate fruity sweetness from the Pilsner malt base balancing noble hop bitterness (25 IBU). Mid-palate develops subtle grainy texture and a gentle yeasty earthiness. The finish is clean and dry, with hop bitterness and mineral dryness asserting themselves without overpowering the fruit and malt foundation.
