Nitro Cherry Kringle

Tap to rate

Lightly toasty, biscuity malts create a pastry-crust flavour in this nitro fruit ale, layered with cherry and vanilla so it tastes like it came fresh from a Danish bakery. Cherry juice, vanilla and cinnamon are in the recipe, alongside Munich, biscuit and honey malts. Copper, medium body, 6.2% ABV and 20 IBU.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Nitro Cherry Kringle

◎ Appearance

Bright copper hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head sustained by nitrogen carbonation. The dense foam clings to the glass in delicate lacing, characteristic of the nitro infusion. Medium body translates visually into a full, inviting pour.

◌ Aroma

Vanilla and cherry lead the nose, supported by warm toasty grain and a subtle cinnamon spice. The bouquet evokes fresh pastry dough and honey sweetness without becoming cloying. A gentle fruitiness rounds the profile, suggesting a well-balanced adjunct integration.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and sweet, with biscuity malts and honey creating a pastry-crust foundation. Mid-palate expands into cherry fruit and vanilla warmth, layered with light spice and a bready character. Low bitterness (20 IBU) allows the adjuncts to shine, while the nitrogen gives a silky mouthfeel that enhances sweetness and fruitiness.
