Smash Original
Deliberately minimalist: one malt and one hop, 100 % Mosaic, used exclusively for aroma. The result is a pronounced fruity bouquet with only a slight bitterness, at 6.2 % ABV and 26 IBU. Every ingredient is meant to stay identifiable and to play one clear role in the balance of the beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Smash Original
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
