Njord

◎ Appearance

Njord presents a pale golden body with a distinctly hazy, opaque character created by suspended yeast and oat additions. A soft, persistent white head forms with moderate carbonation evident throughout. The cloudiness is integral to the beer's identity, diffusing the light in a way typical of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit notes—pineapple and stone fruit—delivered by the Ekuanot hops. Beneath sits a gentle, grainy Malz foundation from the oat bill, contributing a subtle softness without sweetness. Herbal and citrus notes add further complexity without aggressive hop intensity.

◐ Taste

On the palate, juicy tropical fruit dominates from entry through mid-palate, with a smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel from the oats. Bitterness remains restrained at 25 IBU, serving as a gentle anchor rather than a focal point. The finish maintains fruitiness without harshness, staying refreshing and light.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with tropical fruit notes lingering pleasantly without astringency. The low alcohol (5.0%) and moderate IBU ensure an easy, refreshing conclusion that invites another sip.
