John's Beans

◎ Appearance

John's Beans presents a brilliant pale straw gold that catches light with clarity and vibrancy. A crisp, white head forms with good initial presence, settling into delicate lacing that clings to the glass walls with fine, persistent strands. The carbonation is visible and lively, befitting the sessionable character of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose is clean and approachable, dominated by soft grain and a gentle sweetness reminiscent of corn and light adjunct character. Subtle floral hop notes emerge on closer inspection, providing a whisper of Edelhopfen complexity without dominating the profile. There is no phenolic or sulfurous character—the fermentation profile speaks to a well-executed, neutral yeast strain.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a light, refreshing malt body that carries gentle biscuit and breadlike notes from the base grain bill. A touch of residual sweetness balances the restrained bitterness (12 IBU), which integrates smoothly without asserting itself. The finish turns dry and quenching, with a clean mineral quality that invites the next sip.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and brief, fading to a pleasant dry minerality that leaves the palate refreshed rather than lingering. No harsh edges or oxidative notes—the aftertaste remains neutral and food-friendly.
