Olan's Tart

◎ Appearance

Olan's Tart presents a pale, luminous straw colour with exceptional clarity—a hallmark of its clean fermentation and fruit-forward approach. The head is modest but persistent, forming a thin white collar that gradually dissolves. Carbonation is gentle and even, creating fine bubbles that rise slowly through the transparent body.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated entirely by fresh apple character, with the tart, green-skinned quality of pressed juice rather than any cooked or concentrate notes. There is no discernible hop aroma; the fruit's natural acidity and subtle funky undertones from the fermentation carry the olfactory profile. A faint wisp of yeast-derived complexity rounds out the aroma without overwhelming the apple.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced apple tartness that borders on cider sharpness, delivering bright acidity across the front and mid-palate. The malt structure is restrained and clean, allowing fruit and fermentation acids to dominate without interference. Bitterness is nearly absent at 10 IBU; instead, a dry, mouth-puckering quality from the apple juice provides the beer's principal grip.

◑ Finish

The finish is lean and bone-dry, with the acidity persisting cleanly into the aftertaste. No sweetness lingers; instead, the mouth is left with a bright, slightly chalky sensation characteristic of natural apple cider.
