Tasting Notes

◎ Appearance

Tak presents a luminous golden-amber hue with excellent clarity. The head forms generously and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is lively but restrained, creating a steady stream of small bubbles that sustain the foam collar.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit character typical of noble hops, layered over a clean, bread-like Malz foundation. Subtle caramel sweetness emerges beneath, adding roundness without dominating. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no oxidative or harsh notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with a soft grain body that immediately draws in the palate. Mid-palate develops a balanced interplay between the caramelised Malz sweetness and a moderate, clean bitterness from the Edelhopfen. Hop fruitiness and citrus notes provide brightness that prevents heaviness, leading toward a dry, bitter finish.

Serve at 7–10°C

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.

Pint glass

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.
