Kochám Se

◎ Appearance

Hazy pale gold with a soft, diffuse glow and minimal clarity—the Pomona yeast creates a permanent, fine suspension characteristic of the style. A modest white head forms and settles quickly, leaving delicate lacing. Carbonation is gentle and steady, contributing to the soft mouthfeel rather than a crisp bite.

◌ Aroma

Ripe stone fruit dominates the nose, with pronounced peach from the yeast layering over sweet tropical notes of mango and passion fruit from El Dorado. Kohatu adds a wisp of floral sweetness and subtle pine needle character, keeping the aromatics in balance without aggressive herb or resin. The overall impression is soft and inviting, with no sharp or metallic edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens smooth and full-bodied, the peach character from fermentation weaving seamlessly into waves of mango and stone fruit sweetness. El Dorado's tropical notes roll across the mid-palate with a honeyed, juicy quality; Kohatu provides structure with gentle pine and green floral notes that prevent cloying. Bitterness is restrained at 8 IBU—a soft, supporting frame rather than a focal point—allowing the fruit and yeast character to shine.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and clean, the sweetness fading quickly to leave a lingering echo of peach and floral notes. A pleasant refreshing quality emerges as residual fruit fades, making this beer easy to return to.
