Tasting Notes

◎ Appearance

A pale golden blonde with excellent clarity and bright transparency. The head forms with modest density and maintains fair retention, displaying even Schaumkleiden around the glass. Carbonation appears well-integrated, creating a gentle cascade without aggressive bubble structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with subtle fruity notes—stone fruit and citrus undertones from the Cascade, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops—layered beneath a gentle, biscuity Malz foundation. Toasted cereal and caramel malt character provide a warm backdrop without overwhelming the delicate hop expression. No aggressive alcohol or yeast esters dominate; instead, a balanced interplay of sweet and herbal elements emerges.

◐ Taste

The entry is smooth and inviting, with a sweetly fruity character from the Cara Gold and roasted wheat malts establishing the foundation. Mid-palate balances malt-forward body with restrained hop bitterness (60 IBU), allowing citrus and herbal Edelhopfen flavours to surface without harshness. The finish transitions cleanly from malty sweetness into a measured, slightly dry bitterness that does not persist aggressively.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
