Little Fern

◎ Appearance

Little Fern pours a bright, luminous gold with excellent clarity and fine carbonation evident throughout. The head forms with good initial retention, settling into a delicate collar with even Schaumkleiden around the glass. The appearance reflects a classically clean lager presentation with no haze or particulate matter.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced citrus notes—crushed lime and grapefruit dominate, joined by fresh herbal undertones that suggest aromatic hop character. Beneath these top notes sits a delicate Malz foundation that remains restrained and clean, allowing the hops to maintain their presence without becoming aggressive or one-dimensional.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and dry, with lime zest and sweet mandarin notes building immediately. The mid-palate carries lemon peel and citrus complexity while a balanced bitterness—true to its 35 IBU character—integrates seamlessly rather than dominating. The Malz profile remains clean and supportive throughout, never competing with the hop-driven character.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with lemon peel and citrus zest building toward a refreshing, clean conclusion. The aftertaste remains bright and hop-forward without harshness, inviting another sip.
