Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Seligenstädter Urstoff

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a luminous quality typical of the Export style. The unfiltered character creates a soft haze that catches light warmly, while a stable white head forms and clings to the glass with fine, deliberate lacing. Carbonation is moderate and steady, neither aggressive nor flat.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a distinctive spicy character—herbal and peppery notes from noble hops mingle with clean, grainy malt impressions. Beneath lies a subtle bready warmth from the barley, with no harsh fermentation esters or sulfurous notes. The overall effect is refreshingly dry and grounded, inviting repeated sniffs.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and malty, with a soft bready sweetness that does not cloy. The mid-palate showcases the spicy hop signature—a gentle peppery bite—balanced by the smooth farmstead barley's natural richness. Bitterness is restrained at 25 IBU, finishing clean and dry without any roughness or residual sweetness.

◑ Finish

Medium-length and refreshing, with the spicy character lingering lightly on the palate. The aftertaste remains clean and slightly grainy, encouraging another sip rather than coating the mouth.
