Aretusa

◎ Appearance

Aretusa presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, lively carbonation visible as fine bubbles rising through the glass. The white head forms decisively and clings to the rim with persistent lacing, indicating good foam stability and structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes—orange zest and lemon—underpinned by clean, herbaceous hop character with subtle floral undertones. A light, crisp minerality rounds out the aromatics, with no rough edges or oxidative notes; the profile speaks to careful handling and premium hop selection.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshing, with bright citrus flavors melding into a bone-dry, assertive hop bitterness that sits squarely in the mid-palate. Slight piney herbal notes emerge on the middle, while the palate remains light and energetic—malt plays a supporting role, providing just enough backbone without sweetness or heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and lingering, with the bitterness drying the palate cleanly without harshness. A faint citrus and herb memory persists, leaving the drinker wanting another sip.
