Merry Brummie

◎ Appearance

Merry Brummie presents a pale golden hue with good transparency and a stable white head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. The carbonation is crisp and persistent, characteristic of a well-conditioned cask or can release. The beer displays the clean clarity expected of a lager-like fermentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant cinnamon and candied orange peel, layered over a soft, grainy Malz foundation from the British floor-malted rye. Beneath these festive spices lies a subtle sweetness and gentle herbal background from restrained noble-type hopping. The overall character is warm and inviting without any harsh or synthetic spice notes.

◐ Taste

On entry, the palate is clean and moderately full-bodied with the rye's slight earthiness balancing the upfront cinnamon and orange notes. The mid-palate develops a gentle spice warmth without burning, supported by a restrained bitterness (28 IBU) that sits comfortably beneath the malt sweetness. The finish remains dry and crisp, letting the spice linger without overpowering.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderate in length, with cinnamon and orange fading gracefully into a slightly dry, spiced aftertaste. A light mineral note from the Malz platform persists pleasantly through the closing moments.
