Tasting Notes

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity, reflecting the beer's clean brewing process. A white, compact head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine lacing as you drink. Bright carbonation animates the body without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy malt character—hints of honey and light bread crust. Subtle noble hop presence adds a whisper of herbal and floral restraint. No yeast esters or adjunct notes; the aroma remains clean and straightforward, typical of organic barley grown in Austria.

◐ Taste

Malt sweetness dominates the entry with a gentle, rounded body. Mid-palate shows a light, biscuity quality without heaviness, while low bitterness (22 IBU) integrates smoothly rather than asserting itself. The balance tips decidedly toward refreshment and drinkability, with no harsh edges or astringency.
