Ribò

◎ Appearance

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a gently effervescent visual presence. The brightness of the pour reflects the wine-grape influence and light malt bill characteristic of this hybrid style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with delicate floral notes and ripe stone fruit—peach and apricot—derived from the Ribolla Gialla must fermentation. Beneath lies a soft, honeyed maltiness that provides depth without heaviness. The overall impression is airy and refined, with white wine-like aromatics that distinguish this from conventional ales.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and fruit-forward, with the peachy character establishing itself immediately on the palate. Mid-palate reveals a gentle tartness from the grape fermentation, creating a balancing tension that prevents sweetness from dominating. The modest 15 IBU provides restrained bitterness; the malt base remains light and unobtrusive, allowing the grape must to shine throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with residual stone-fruit character fading into a subtle dry minerality. Aftertaste lingers pleasantly without astringency, leaving the palate crisp and inviting another sip.
