Starkenberger Extra Herb

◎ Appearance

Straw-golden in color with brilliant clarity and a fine, stable head that leaves delicate lacing down the glass. The carbonation is visible and lively, supporting a persistent white collar that frames the beer throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is markedly herbal, leading with fresh-cut grass and a distinct citrus zest that suggests lemon peel. Subtle pine notes emerge underneath, balanced by a clean, mineral-like character from the noble hops—no harsh solvent or vegetal off-notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is dry and firmly hopped, with a crisp bite that establishes itself immediately. The mid-palate shows only a light biscuit-malt foundation that remains restrained, allowing the hop bitterness and herbal spice to dominate the flavor arc without overwhelming the structure.

◑ Finish

Long, dry, and distinctly bitter, with the hop character persisting into the aftertaste. The final impression is clean and refreshing, leaving no residual sweetness or cloying malt.
