Frost Flower Winter Pils

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright luminosity characteristic of the style. Fine, persistent white head with delicate lacing that clings to the glass. Lively carbonation evident throughout, creating a gently animated surface.

◌ Aroma

Mandarina Bavaria and Nelson Sauvin hops lead with distinct mandarin peel and white gooseberry notes, layered over a clean malt base. The nose presents bright citrus framed by subtle herbaceous hop character, with no yeast-derived esters or phenolics. A seasonal profile emphasizing hop aromatics over fermentation character.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied entry with clean, crisp malt backbone supporting prominent citrus and berry hop notes. The mid-palate develops a light bitterness from the 35 IBUs—refined rather than assertive—balanced by the beer's 7.2% alcohol warmth. Hoppy character persists without overwhelming the light malt sweetness, maintaining refreshment throughout.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and moderately dry, with lingering mandarin and gooseberry notes fading gradually. A refreshing, brief bitter edge carries through without harshness.
