100 (Mosaic & Mandarina Bavaria)

◎ Appearance

A bright golden-amber body with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with good lacing. The carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, lending a gentle effervescence without aggression. The light color—consistent with the 8 SRM specification—suggests restraint in kilning and an emphasis on the delicate character of the oat base.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and tangerine notes from the Mosaic and Mandarina Bavaria hops, layered with a clean, slightly herbal hop character. Underneath, the oat foundation contributes a soft, almost creamy grain impression—absent the typical heavy biscuit or toast notes found in barley-based pale ales. The overall aromatic profile is clean and refreshing, with no off-notes or phenolic stress.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, almost silky mouthfeel courtesy of the oat adjunct, immediately offset by moderate bittering and citrus hop flavor. Mid-palate reveals orange and grapefruit notes, balanced against a gentle, non-astringent grain sweetness. The 5.8% ABV keeps the body light and drinkable, while the hop bitterness (estimated 35–45 IBU range) remains restrained and integrated rather than sharp.

◑ Finish

A clean, fairly dry finish with lingering citrus and a gentle herbal hop fade. The aftertaste is crisp and refreshing, free from hop burn or grain residue, making this an approachable and sessionable expression.

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.

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