Hindbær Lakrids Ale

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a luminous quality, characteristic of the Pilsner malt base and low color rating. The unfiltered, unpasteurised nature renders a light cloudiness that catches the light pleasingly. A delicate, ephemeral head forms and settles quickly, leaving fine lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

Raspberry leads the charge on the nose, bright and immediate, followed by distinct licorice notes that linger underneath. The Sorachi Ace and Cascade hops contribute a subtle herbal and citrus undertone that does not overpower the fruit-forward profile. A clean fermentation character supports without asserting itself.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with raspberry juice delivering immediate fruitiness across the palate. Licorice arrives swiftly in the mid-palate, adding aromatic spice and a touch of anise character that complements the berry notes. The 28 IBU bitterness is restrained and balanced, allowing the adjunct flavours to remain prominent while the Pilsner malt provides a clean, dry foundation.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and brisk, with the licorice and raspberry notes trailing away gradually. A dry, thirst-quenching aftertaste invites another sip without lingering heaviness.
