Nina - malina

◎ Appearance

Nina pours a pale reddish hue in the glass, luminous and inviting beneath a delicate pink head. The body shows excellent clarity despite being unfiltered, with fine carbonation creating a gentle sparkle. Head retention is modest but characteristic, laying down a thin, airy collar around the rim.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright raspberry and tart berry fruit, backed by a whisper of lemon zest that adds dimension without dominating. A subtle floral quality emerges behind the fruit—the signature of mixed fermentation between top-fermenting yeast and Lactobacillus. The overall impression is refreshing and approachable, free of harsh vinegar notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens light and crisp, with a pronounced berry tartness that builds through the mid-palate. Acidity is well-balanced and food-friendly rather than aggressive; the 230 g/L of fresh raspberries provide both body and natural sweetness that harmonizes with the sour foundation. Bitterness remains barely perceptible at just 5 IBU, allowing the fruit and acid interplay to take center stage.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and clean, with lingering berry acidity and a subtle citrus note that doesn't overstay. The aftertaste remains dry and refreshing, inviting another sip.
