◎ Appearance

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus zest and herbal notes that characterize the Smaragd and Mandarina Bavaria hop blend, layered over the earthy undertones these varieties impart. Beneath the hop-forward aromatics lies a clean, delicate malt foundation—the organic Gyrup Gårdmalt contributes subtle grain notes without heaviness. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no rough edges or oxidative character.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is crisp and lively, with the fruity and citric notes from the hops establishing themselves immediately against a light, well-balanced malt sweetness. Mid-palate develops an herbal complexity and sustained earthiness that prevents flatness, while the modest 22 IBU bitterness provides structure without aggression. The finish maintains the beer's refreshing quality, with no sticky residue or excessive mineral character.

What is a Pale Lager?
