De Vagebond

◎ Appearance

De Vagebond presents a warm amber hue with excellent clarity despite being unfiltered and unpasteurised. The beer develops a fine, persistent head with good lacing that clings to the glass throughout the drink. Gentle carbonation suggests a refined, controlled conditioning typical of the Vienna lager tradition.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, toasted malt character—bread crust and gentle caramel notes dominate without aggression. Noble hops contribute a restrained, refined spice that complements rather than dominates. The bottom fermentation remains clean and neutral, allowing the malt expression to remain the focal point.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and malty, with bready, biscuit character that fills the palate cleanly. The mid-palate sustains that malt richness while developing subtle caramel depth, supported by a light but perceptible bitter bite from Edelhopfen. The finish transitions smoothly toward a dry, slightly bitter closure that invites the next sip.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with a gentle bitter edge that lingers without harshness. Noble hop bitterness fades to a toast-like dryness that leaves the palate refreshed and ready.
