Berliner Original

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to light brown, bright and clear with excellent transparency. A thick, cream-colored head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine Schaumhaftung, leaving distinct rings as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is moderate and steady.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft black pepper and subtle roasted grain, followed by cocoa and bitter chocolate notes that develop as the beer warms. Vienna and caramel malts contribute gentle toasted bread undertones, while Hallertauer Magnum hops add a restrained noble character without aggressive herbality.

◐ Taste

A crisp attack gives way to a soft, malty mid-palate where Vienna and chocolate malts dominate with toffee and cocoa notes. The texture becomes dry and refined, with light caramel sweetness balanced by restrained bitterness. The 26 IBU provide clean definition without harshness, allowing toasted and chocolate character to shine.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with toffee, toast, and cocoa lingering gently on the palate. The dryness persists without astringency, leaving a pleasant malty impression.
