◎ Appearance

Pale golden yellow with excellent clarity, a direct result of the beer's deliberate filtration. The head forms quickly and fine, with good adhesion to the glass. Fine carbonation carries a gentle effervescence throughout, maintaining a delicate mousse.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with grassy and herbaceous notes from Perle and Spalter Select, underpinned by a restrained fruity character. Noble hops lend a refined, slightly spicy dimension without dominance. Soft malt undertones provide a clean, bready foundation.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and approachable, with a lean malt sweetness balanced by pronounced hop bitterness. Mid-palate dries considerably, accentuating the grassy hop profile and a mineral crispness. The finish presents a dry, slightly bitter character with fine-grained carbonation adding to the sense of refinement.
