It is brewed at the Phu Bai brewery in Hue.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Huda

◎ Appearance

Huda presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. The head forms quickly and persists with fine retention, leaving delicate lacing down the glass. Carbonation is pronounced and steady, evident in the active bead rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose is restrained and clean, reflecting the beer's understated character. Light cereal notes emerge from the adjunct grain bill, with subtle herbaceous whispers from noble-style Edelhopfen. There is no aggressive malt presence—the overall impression is fresh and uncluttered.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and undemanding, with a light malt backbone that carries modest sweetness. The mid-palate remains crisp and dry-leaning, with a gentle hop bitterness that sits comfortably at 22 IBU—never aggressive. The beer drinks exceedingly clean throughout, with minimal residual flavor competing for attention.

Serve at 4–7°C
