EX03

◎ Appearance

EX03 presents a bright golden hue, luminous and transparent beneath the glass. The head forms with modest density and displays good retention, leaving thin, delicate lacing that gradually fades. Carbonation is lively and visible, creating a fine bead that persists through the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft, malty sweetness—honey and light grain notes dominate without sharp edges. Subtle fruit esters from the top fermentation suggest white wine and stone fruit undertones. Noble hops provide a refined, herbal backbone that balances the residual sweetness without claiming dominance.

◐ Taste

The palate enters round and full, with the malt-driven sweetness immediately apparent and integrated throughout. Mid-palate warmth builds gently from the 7.2% ABV, while noble hops deliver restrained bitterness—25 IBU is low, allowing malt character to lead. The finish dries gradually rather than sharply, maintaining a soft texture to the end.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste lingers with malt-derived sweetness and a gentle, warming alcohol note. Bitterness fades quickly, leaving the impression of a beer designed for contemplation rather than refreshment.
