Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Chemu Rossa

◎ Appearance

Chemu Rossa presents a deep amber hue with a reddish undertone, characteristic of the 13 SRM specification. The unfiltered, bottle-conditioned nature yields a soft haze that catches the light gently. A dense, persistent head forms on the pour, with fine lacing that clings to the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced caramel and toasted biscuit notes, the foundation of this malt-forward ale. Beneath lies a subtle citrus zest—distinctly Sardinian in character—that adds brightness without dominating. A delicate yeasty undertone emerges from the bottle conditioning, contributing soft, complex depth.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a rich, full-bodied sweetness from caramel and biscuit malts in the entry, coating the mouth smoothly. Mid-palate sustains this malt character while gentle hop bitterness (30 IBU) begins to assert itself, balanced rather than aggressive. The citrus notes emerge gradually, adding crispness and preventing any cloying residue.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with citrus zest lingering pleasantly on the palate. A light hoppy edge fades smoothly into a faintly toasted aftertaste that echoes the biscuit character.
