The Satyr

◎ Appearance

The Satyr presents a pale straw-gold body with bright clarity interrupted by fine suspended yeast particles, lending an intentional haze characteristic of unfiltered lagers. A tight, persistent head forms and clings to the glass walls with notable adhesion. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, creating a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with clean, grainy Pilsner malt sweetness before noble hops emerge with restrained herbal and floral qualities. A whisper of mineral character from the well water and soft spice from the Hallertauer and Tettnanger completes the profile. No yeast-driven esters dominate; the overall impression remains dry and elegant.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and malty, with Weyermann Pilsner malt establishing a soft, biscuit-like foundation. The mid-palate remains clean and refreshing, allowing measured herbal bitterness from the hop blend to assert itself without overwhelming. A touch of Carafoam provides body without sweetness, finishing with a snappy, dry bitter edge.

◑ Finish

The finish is brisk and dry, with lingering noble-hop bitterness fading to a mineral, slightly peppery aftertaste. The beer leaves the palate pleasantly clean and inviting of another sip.
