Scarlet

◎ Appearance

Scarlet presents a pale salmon-pink hue, luminous and inviting against the light. The body shows fine haze from suspension of fruit matter and wheat proteins, with modest carbonation creating a delicate, transient head that clings lightly to the glass in thin ribbons.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced fresh strawberry—jammy notes of ripe fruit sit at the forefront, never cooked or processed. Beneath lies a subtle grain softness from pilsner and wheat malts, with faint whispers of lactic tang that frame the fruit without dominating. No vanilla, marshmallow, or confected sweetness intrudes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and sessionable, the strawberry sweetness meeting gently with lactic acidity—neither overwhelms. Mid-palate reveals the interplay of unfermented fruit sugar against the beer's kettle-sourness, creating a tart-sweet balance. The wheat and flaked wheat provide body and a slight silky mouthfeel, while the low IBU of 10 keeps the profile clean and refreshing.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and brisk, the lactic acid lingering pleasantly without harshness. Aftertaste leans toward the fruit, fading gradually with a clean, mineral-like quality.
