Bitter & Twisted

◎ Appearance

Bright golden hue with excellent clarity, held in a pale straw tone against the light. A persistent white head forms with good retention and fine, even lacing that clings to the glass. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a refined bead throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with delicate fruity and floral notes from the noble hop blend, with Hersbrucker and Celeia contributing bright citrus florality. Beneath lies a soft maltiness from the wheat and crystal components, suggesting light caramel sweetness without heaviness. The oat contribution adds a subtle cereal roundness that complements the hop profile.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is clean and zesty, with a pronounced lemon character that sits atop a bed of soft, biscuity malt. The oats provide gentle body and a silky texture, while the crystal malt delivers a restrained caramel sweetness that balances the emerging hop bitterness. Mid-palate remains refreshing and composed, never cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is notably long and dry, with a tingling citrus bite that persists cleanly on the palate. The lingering bitterness from the five-hop blend resolves to a pleasant, peppery dryness without astringency.
