Bifrost
Sweet caramel-apple aromas come with a little spice and orange zest; the taste is bold yet balanced, with a good amount of citrus and earthy hop bitterness against the malt, and the finish runs dry with a bit of fruit. It pours golden with orange highlights on a medium, sturdy body. Pale, Munich and C-77 malts meet Magnum, Chinook and Amarillo hops in this 8.3 % ABV, 58 IBU winter seasonal.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Bifrost
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
