La Grigna

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The carbonation is brisk and even, suggesting proper conditioning and pour technique. Light catches the beer with a luminous quality typical of the style.

◌ Aroma

Malt leads the charge on the nose, expressing a clean grain character with subtle sweetness. Czech and German Edelhopfen layer a herbal and floral bouquet—noble hop character without aggression—that sits distinctly above the malt base. The aromatic profile leans toward the Italian interpretation of Pilsner, with hop florality more pronounced than in a German or Bohemian rendering.

◐ Taste

The palate opens dry and crisp, with the malt contributing a light, biscuity foundation that persists through the mid-palate without weight. Bitterness arrives moderate and measured—around 35 IBU—delivering herbaceous bite and a subtle floral finish rather than sharp resinous punch. The beer remains clean and refreshing throughout, with excellent balance between grain and hop.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is short to medium, trailing off with a faint herbal whisper and lingering dryness. No cloying sweetness or residual heaviness—the finish invites another sip.
