Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Rosa

◎ Appearance

Rosa pours a crystalline pink body with exceptional clarity, the result of hibiscus infusion against a pale golden base. A rosy-tinged foam crowns the pour, displaying fine Schaumhaftung that gradually recedes into a delicate ring. The carbonation appears lively and well-integrated, creating a bright, summery visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced floral hibiscus notes, immediately recognizable and inviting without becoming perfumy. Beneath lies a restrained, clean malt base that frames rather than competes with the botanical character. A whisper of Edelhopfen provides gentle herbal support, while the overall impression remains light and fresh, lacking any yeasty cloudiness.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and naturally tart, the hibiscus acidity setting a refreshing tone on the palate. Mid-palate develops subtle fruity sweetness balanced against the floral tartness, with the Malz providing soft body and a gentle, slightly honeyed undertone. Bitterness remains restrained at 20 IBU, allowing the botanical and sweet elements to shine without harsh edges.
