Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Ostirala
◎ Appearance
Golden amber in the glass with excellent clarity and a pale tan head that settles to a thin ring. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating fine streams of bubbles that maintain steady Schaumhaftung around the rim.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with bright citrus and stone fruit — think grapefruit, peach, and apricot — layered with delicate floral and herbal notes from the Edelhopfen selection. Subtle piney undertones blend with a clean malt base that supports the hop-forward profile without heaviness.
◐ Taste
The palate delivers immediate fruity sweetness tempered by measured hop bitterness that sits at 60 IBU — assertive but not aggressive. Mid-palate shows layered citrus zest and herbal spice, with a dry, crisp finish that invites the next sip rather than lingering heavily.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and refreshing, with bitterness fading to a light herbal and piney dryness. The aftertaste remains fruit-forward without residual sweetness.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
