Winter Skal

◎ Appearance

Winter Skal presents a warm amber hue with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head that clings to the glass walls with fine lacing. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, producing a steady stream of fine bubbles that sustain the foam collar throughout the tasting.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with floral and spicy Liberty hop character that sits gracefully over a substantial Malz foundation of caramel and light toasty notes. The malt backbone provides warmth and depth, creating a balanced aromatic profile that avoids excessive sweetness while maintaining clear noble hop character.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and smooth, with pronounced caramel and malty sweetness that forms the core of the experience. Liberty hops deliver restrained floral and spicy notes that weave through the mid-palate, while a mild, clean bitterness emerges in the finish without dominating—the 30 IBU sits well within the Vienna Lager tradition.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with residual caramel notes fading into a gentle spicy hop dryness. The beer leaves a pleasant, slightly bready aftertaste that invites another sip without lingering harshness.
