◎ Appearance

Pale straw-yellow with a fine, persistent white head. The beer presents a characteristic haze from the unfiltered wheat and active yeast in suspension, creating a soft, cloudy appearance. Carbonation is moderate and even, with delicate bubbles rising steadily through the turbid body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright, soft fruit esters—banana and lemon zest—layered with a herbal, slightly spicy backbone. Subtle wheat malt contributes a faint grainy sweetness, while the blend of herbs imparts a refreshing, garden-like character. The overall impression is light and inviting without aggressive hop presence.

◐ Taste

The palate is crisp and light-bodied, with a gentle fruity sweetness on entry that fades into the herbal spice character. Bitterness is restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the wheat malt smoothness and herbal notes to dominate. The beer drinks very clean and thirst-quenching, with no harsh edges or excessive residual sugar.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, dry and refreshing with a lingering herbal whisper. The aftertaste is clean and mineral-like, with no cloy, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.

Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.

The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.
