SS46

◎ Appearance

SS46 presents a clear, straw-yellow hue characteristic of the Helles style. A fine, persistent bead of carbonation rises through the glass, building a delicate white head that clings to the rim with light lacing. The unfiltered, unpasteurised nature of the beer lends it a subtle luminosity without cloudiness.

◌ Aroma

The nose is clean and inviting, led by soft malt sweetness with gentle cereal and grain notes. Noble hop aromatics emerge quietly in the background—faint herbal and floral nuances that complement rather than dominate. A touch of fresh yeast character rounds out the bouquet without any sharp or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

Malt carries the palate with full body and a round, bread-like character that speaks to quality malting and restraint in the brewhouse. Bitterness remains deliberately understated at 18 IBU, present only as a gentle frame that prevents the beer from becoming cloying. The middle unfolds soft and smooth, with a mineral dryness that suggests balanced brewing water.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium in length, fading gracefully without astringency or harsh edges. A gentle, lingering malt sweetness remains on the palate, inviting another sip.
