Franz

◎ Appearance

Franz presents a clear, pale golden hue with bright translucence characteristic of the Oktoberfest style. A modest white head forms and recedes steadily, leaving fine lacing along the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, lending visual liveliness without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy malt character—biscuit and bread crust notes dominate without harshness. Light noble hop presence adds a whisper of herbal restraint. No yeast-driven esters or adjunct aromas intrude; the overall impression is clean and approachable.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and gently sweet, with malt at the forefront building body through the mid-palate. Bitterness remains subdued at 22 IBU, allowing Malz character to persist without significant hop challenge. The palate finishes dry enough to feel balanced, never cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is slightly sweet and lingering, with a malty aftertaste that fades gradually. A gentle warmth from the 5.4% ABV dissolves cleanly, leaving no harsh edges.
