Bearded Iris Pep Talk

◎ Appearance

Pale golden color with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that displays clean lacing as it recedes. Fine carbonation creates a lively visual presence in the glass. The beer presents a classically clean lager appearance with no haze or suspended matter.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright, fruity-floral notes from the Hallertau Blanc and Nelson hops, offering subtle stone fruit and citrus impressions. A gentle mineral character emerges beneath, complemented by soft, clean malt undertones. The aromatic profile remains restrained and elegant, true to the modern noble-hop interpretation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens clean and crisp with a light, dry malt foundation that allows the hop character to shine. Mid-palate reveals bready, slightly fruity notes alongside a delicate noble-hop presence with citrus and floral edges. Bitterness is restrained at 22 IBU, providing balance without dominating the clean, refreshing character.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry with lingering citrus and floral notes fading into a mineral dryness. Short to medium finish length maintains the refreshing, sessionable character without any harshness or astringency.
