Saaz

◎ Appearance

Pale straw gold with excellent clarity and fine carbonation creating a delicate mousse. The head retention is modest but elegant, with a light lacing that clings briefly to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh-cut grass and herbaceous notes, followed by delicate florals reminiscent of chamomile and rose petals. Extended dry-hopping with Czech Saaz hops contributes a noble character alongside stone fruit—particularly fresh peach—with subtle hay and a whisper of wild-fermentation funk.

◐ Taste

The palate balances restrained hop bitterness with a refined, moderate sourness that builds gently across the mid-palate. Oak integration is understated, allowing the bright acidity and Saaz hop bitterness to frame a dry, lean body that recalls natural cider rather than typical ale warmth.

◑ Finish

The finish is remarkably dry and sustained, with a tart edge that lingers without astringency. The aftertaste echoes dried grass, light florals, and a faint orchard minerality characteristic of extended wild-ale aging.
