◎ Appearance
Ichnusa presents a brilliant light golden hue with excellent clarity and brightness. The beer displays a fine, delicate white head that dissipates moderately, revealing pristine carbonation throughout. The pale, translucent appearance is quintessentially inviting and perfectly characteristic of the Euro Pale Lager style.
◌ Aroma
The nose is delicately balanced with soft grain and cereal notes, complemented by subtle malty sweetness. Minimal hop character presents as gentle and understated, allowing the clean, crisp malted barley to take center stage. A whisper of mineral minerality adds freshness without overwhelming the subtle aromatic profile.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a light, smooth entry featuring gentle grain sweetness and a malty foundation. Mid-palate remains crisp and refreshing with excellent drinkability, while hop bitterness stays minimal and restrained at just 12 IBU. The beer maintains impeccable balance throughout, never veering toward heaviness or astringency.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and dry with admirable brevity, allowing for easy quaffing and quick refreshment. No lingering bitterness or cloying sweetness remains—just a pleasant, mineral-tinged dryness.
