Athanor

◎ Appearance

Athanor presents a light amber hue with exceptional clarity and a fine, persistent head. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting crisp mouthfeel without aggression. Lacing clings to the glass in delicate bands as the beer descends.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with restrained beechwood smoke—earthy and warm without dominating the profile. Beneath lies soft pilsner maltiness with a gentle honey-like sweetness. Noble hop character emerges on closer inspection, offering subtle floral and herbal notes that frame the smoke rather than compete with it.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with light, clean malt character that transitions smoothly into the smoke's presence—smoky but never harsh or ashy. Mid-palate reveals a delicate sweetness and herbaceous hop bitterness in balance. The 22 IBU provide structure without assertiveness, allowing the interplay of malt and smoke to remain the focal point throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length, drying gradually with lingering smoke and a subtle hop spice. A light, refreshing quality persists, inviting another sip rather than leaving heaviness behind.
