Platan Nealko

◎ Appearance

A bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, white head that settles to a thin collar. The beer displays steady carbonation and good Schaumhaftung, leaving faint lacing on the glass as you drink. The pale straw color reflects the restrained kilning of the barley malts used.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with subtle herbaceous Edelhopfen character balanced by delicate malty sweetness. Noble hop spice and a hint of grain come through cleanly, with no off-aromas or harshness typical of lower-alcohol brewing. The overall impression is one of restraint and balance—inviting without overwhelming.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with a dry, bready maltiness that develops across the mid-palate. Bitterness arrives measured but present—22 IBU registers as a firm counterpoint without aggression. The finish remains clean and light, allowing the Edelhopfen spice to linger without any sticky or cloying character.

◑ Finish

A short to medium dry finish with subtle hop bitterness that fades smoothly. The aftertaste leaves behind a gentle malty sweetness and hop spice without any alcohol burn or harshness.
