Anthem

◎ Appearance

Anthem presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass walls with good retention. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a lively but controlled effervescence that supports the visual appeal of this session pale ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced stone fruit character—ripe peach and mango—layered with citrus notes that suggest a blend of both zest and candied brightness. The four British hop varieties (Target, Olicana, Jester, Harlequin) deliver herbal and floral undertones without dominating, while Maris Otter and golden naked oats contribute a soft, biscuity backdrop that grounds the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and approachable, with peach and tropical melon flavors establishing themselves immediately on the palate. The mid-palate balances ripe fruit sweetness with moderate bitterness (35 IBU), while the malt foundation—built on British malts including Cornish Gold—provides a subtle sweetness and light body that keeps the beer refreshing and crisp throughout. The finish remains dry without becoming astringent, with lingering citrus and hop bitterness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately short, fading with a gentle citrus and herbal hop note that refreshes the palate. No lingering sweetness or heavy residue remains, making this an ideal session beer.
