Newbarns Festival Bier

◎ Appearance

A bright golden hue with excellent clarity, reflecting the clean lager character. The head is persistent with good lacing, and fine carbonation rises steadily through the glass, maintaining a tight collar of foam throughout the session.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean, grainy malt—a foundation of heritage barley varieties presenting subtle bread and biscuit notes. Noble hops add a whisper of herbal restraint in the background, while a gentle sweetness rounds the profile without any yeast-driven esters dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth with prominent malt sweetness and a grainy, bready character that fills the mid-palate satisfyingly. Bitterness remains moderate at 22 IBU, providing structure without aggression, while the body carries weight and presence despite the moderate alcohol level.

◑ Finish

The finish dries cleanly, with residual malt character fading to a crisp, refreshing aftertaste. No lingering harshness or cloying sweetness—just a dry, balanced conclusion that invites the next sip.
