Berica

◎ Appearance

Berica presents a clear, light amber hue with bright clarity and a fine white head that settles into a thin collar of lacing. The carbonation is moderate and even, creating a gentle effervescence that suggests balance rather than aggression. The color reflects the modest malt bill, leaning toward the paler end of the amber spectrum.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh citrus notes, likely from the estate hops, complemented by a soft, clean malt sweetness from the Italian-malted barley. Yeast character remains restrained and refined, allowing the hop and malt interplay to take prominence. There is no solvent or sharp alcohol note despite the moderate ABV.

◐ Taste

On the palate, Berica unfolds with a light to medium body and a crisp, refreshing entry that carries the citrus character forward into the mid-palate. The bitterness integrates evenly without dominating, sitting at a balanced 22 IBU that complements rather than overwhelms the malt foundation. The finish is dry and clean, with no residual harshness.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste lingers gently with fading citrus notes and a touch of malt dryness, encouraging another sip without fatigue. The finish is refreshingly dry and leaves the palate prepared for food or continued drinking.
