Marcellinus

◎ Appearance

Marcellinus presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine white head that clings persistently to the glass walls. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a smooth visual presence without aggressive bubbling. The pale amber-tinged body reflects the Pilsner and Cara Hell malts used in its composition.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft caramel sweetness derived from the Cara Hell malt, underpinned by a clean Pilsner malt foundation. Fine herbal and slightly citric notes from the Magnum and Callista hops emerge as secondary aromas, adding elegance without dominating. The bouquet remains balanced and inviting, with no harsh alcohol notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and malty, with pronounced caramel richness that develops across the palate. The 35 IBU bitterness arrives mid-palate as a gentle, supporting counterpoint rather than an assertive force, allowing the malt character to remain central. The finish transitions smoothly from sweetness to a refined hop dryness, with no harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length and clean, fading gracefully from residual caramel sweetness into a subtle herbaceous dryness. Warmth from the alcohol builds gently without becoming harsh or boozy on the palate.
