Flavia

◎ Appearance

Bright golden hue with a subtle veil throughout the body, characteristic of a naturally unfiltered ale. A wide, compact head of white foam crowns the glass, displaying solid retention and delicate lacing along the walls as the beer is consumed. The carbonation is moderate, lending a gentle effervescence without aggressive bubbling.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe tropical fruit—mango and pineapple—mingling with candied citrus notes that suggest orange peel and marmalade. A warming spice character emerges in the background, with subtle honeyed tones adding roundness and complexity. The overall impression is rich and opulent, with the alcohol present but not dominant.

◐ Taste

The palate is soft and full-bodied, opening with gentle sweetness that balances the 25 IBU of restrained bitterness. Mid-palate reveals an intriguing alcoholic warmth that builds complexity without harshness, supported by a light malty backbone. The finish is remarkably dry and clean, shedding the residual sweetness to leave a crisp, refreshing aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The drying finish persists with clarity and brightness, the alcohol warmth receding gracefully to reveal a clean, mineral-like quality. The aftertaste is refreshingly spice-tinged and devoid of cloying sweetness, making this beer deceptively easy to drink despite its 7.9% strength.
