Cristal Extra

◎ Appearance

Cristal Extra presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a pale straw tint. The beer carries a lasting natural head with fine carbonation that maintains consistent Schaumkleiden down the glass. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, characteristic of a well-crafted lager.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with subtle herbal hop characteristics that suggest a restrained use of noble varieties. A light trace of sulphur—typical of lager fermentation—sits beneath delicate fruity esters that bring a hint of orchard fruit. The overall aromatic profile remains understated and balanced, without aggressive floral or vegetal dominance.

◐ Taste

Entry presents a clean, crisp palate with moderate bitterness that integrates seamlessly into the malt backbone. Mid-palate reveals a faint acidity and gentle grain character alongside a hint of Malz sweetness. The medium body provides structure without heaviness, allowing the herbal bitterness and clean fermentation character to remain prominent through to the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and clean, with the mild bitterness receding quickly to leave no astringent aftertaste. Carbonation provides a light prickling sensation that enhances the overall refreshing character.
