Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Razamanaz

Appearance

A pale straw yellow, nearly colorless in the glass with a subtle hazy quality from the unfiltered wheat and yeast suspension. The head rises quickly and clings to the glass walls with fine, persistent lacing. Bright carbonation lifts the body with visible activity.

Aroma

The nose leads with tart raspberry and fresh wheat grain, backed by delicate citrus notes and a whisper of white pepper from the fermentation. No aggressive hop character; instead, a clean, slightly grainy undertone from pilsner and acidulated malt supports the fruit.

Taste

Tart and refreshing on entry, the raspberry syrup and acidulated malt work together to build a mouth-puckering sourness without harshness. Mid-palate reveals soft wheat sweetness and berry fruit complexity, while acidity keeps the profile crisp and thirst-quenching. The 3% ABV lets the tartness shine without alcohol warmth.

Finish

Short, clean, and dry, leaving only a lingering berry note and gentle sourness on the palate. The finish invites another sip.
