Three Kings

◎ Appearance

Three Kings presents a warm mahogany hue with good clarity and a fine, persistent head. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a stable foam collar that clings to the glass as the level drops. The colour sits comfortably in the deeper amber-brown range, characteristic of the winter ale style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with restrained spice and herbal notes from the hop blend, accompanied by soft citrus undertones—particularly orange zest. Beneath this lies a foundation of pale and crystal malt character: gentle caramel sweetness and a subtle bread-like warmth. The overall aromatic profile is balanced and inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a smooth, slightly sweet malt backbone derived from the pale and crystal malts, which provide both body and mild toffee notes. The three-hop blend unfolds mid-palate with citrus and spice characteristics, leading to a controlled bitterness (28 IBU) that sits in the middle ground—enough to balance sweetness without dominating. The finish transitions smoothly into a dry, spicy-citrus exit.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and drying, with lingering spicy and orange-citrus notes that fade cleanly. The aftertaste remains pleasant and slightly warming, appropriate to the winter seasonal positioning.
