Ugly Duck Callista Moon

◎ Appearance

Callista Moon presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. A fine white head forms with moderate retention and leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The carbonation is active and well-integrated, creating a lively visual presentation characteristic of the pilsner style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinctive stone fruit character—peach and apricot dominate the aromatic profile, layered beneath a refined noble hop bouquet. Supporting notes of red berries and subtle caramel emerge from the malt foundation, creating a complex yet harmonious blend that balances fruitiness with traditional German hop spice.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with stone fruit flavors immediately apparent on the palate. The mid-palate develops malty sweetness from the Munich and caramel malts, which provides body without heaviness, while the Callista hops deliver a clean, fruity bitterness that remains integrated rather than aggressive. The overall impression is fruit-driven yet well-structured, with hop character supporting rather than overwhelming the composition.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length with lingering notes of peach and a subtle hop dryness. The aftertaste remains clean and refreshing, with no astringent edges, fading gracefully into a faintly sweet caramel memory.
