Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Fur Classic

◎ Appearance

Clear amber to reddish-brown with bright transparency and a moderate, dense white head that forms a thin collar of lacing around the glass. Fine carbonation produces steady, delicate streams of bubbles from the base. The visual profile reflects both the Vienna lager tradition and the clean, controlled fermentation characteristic of Nordic brewing practice.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted and bready malt notes, underpinned by a gentle caramel sweetness that suggests Vienna malt's kiln characteristics. Noble hop aromas emerge with restraint—herbaceous and mineral rather than floral or citrus-driven. A clean fermentation profile allows the malt and hop elements to remain distinct, with no esters or phenolic character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a full-bodied, malty entry that carries pronounced caramel and bread-crust flavors. The mid-palate maintains sweetness and roundness while a mild but distinct hop bitterness emerges, preventing cloying and anchoring the finish. At 25 IBU, the bitterness is supportive rather than aggressive, allowing the malt character to remain forward throughout.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is dry and slightly spicy, with the hop bite carrying through to a medium-length fade. The finish feels crisp and smooth, without astringency or residual sweetness.
