◎ Appearance

Deep amber to light brown in the glass, with excellent clarity characteristic of a well-executed lager. A fine, persistent white head forms and clings to the rim with good retention. The carbonation is gentle and even, supporting a refined visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with dark berry notes—blackcurrant and plum—laid down by the dry-hop additions during lagering. Beneath this fruit character lies a subtle malt foundation of bread crust, light toast, and cocoa, creating an inviting and well-layered bouquet. The aromatic profile is restrained but layered, avoiding any harsh or grassy edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with the promised bread-crust and light roast maltiness, balanced by a measured bitterness that emerges mid-palate without overwhelming. The dark berry character from the aroma translates into subtle fruit notes on the tongue, while the cocoa undertone adds a gentle richness. Medium body carries the flavors cleanly across the palate with good integration of malt and hop.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and gently bitter, fading with a clean, mineral-like quality. The aftertaste lingers with traces of berry and cocoa without becoming cloying.
