Frosttud

◎ Appearance

Frosttud presents a pale golden hue with a slight haze characteristic of an unfiltered lager. The head forms with moderate density and displays fair retention, maintaining a thin collar of foam around the glass. Carbonation is evident and well-integrated, creating a gently animated visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pleasant fruitiness—subtle stone fruit and citrus notes—layered over a clean, grainy Pilsner malt foundation. Noble hop character emerges as a restrained floral and herbal backdrop, while the unfiltered character lends a soft, yeasty undertone that adds roundness without cloudiness dominating the profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and clean, with a pleasant sweet maltiness from the Pilsner and Cara Clair base—offering gentle bready notes and a soft mouthfeel. The midpalate maintains freshness while the modest 22 IBU bitterness arrives as a refined, lightly peppery finish that cuts through without harshness, balancing the beer's inherent sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, drying gently as the bitterness asserts itself without overpowering. The aftertaste trails into a pleasant, dry maltiness with lingering hints of noble hops and subtle fruit.
