Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Union BioStadt Bier

◎ Appearance

A luminous golden hue with a natural haze throughout, arising from the yeast in suspension rather than filtration. The head forms moderately and maintains a delicate, fine-grained collar with steady lacing. Bright carbonation is evident in the glass, lending visual liveliness to this organically brewed Export.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with clean, bright citrus notes from the Mandarina Bavaria hops, layered beneath a rounded malt character. Vienna and Pilsner malt contribute a soft, grainy sweetness without heaviness. The yeast presence is restrained and neutral, allowing the organic hop profile and delicate malt balance to dominate.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and clean, with a light malt foundation that feels approachable and never cloying. Mid-palate develops a gentle citrus character and a subtle, crisp bite that builds gradually. The 24 IBU bitterness is restrained and well-integrated, finishing with a dry, refreshing snap that does not overwhelm.
