Paloma

◎ Appearance

A pale, luminous pink hue dominates the glass, the result of hibiscus flowers running through the hop back during the brew. The beer presents with excellent clarity despite its wheat and oat base, crowned by a delicate, persistent white head that leaves fine lacing along the glass walls. Carbonation is moderate and even, appropriate to the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus—grapefruit and lime zest lead—followed by subtle floral notes from the hibiscus and oat-derived softness. A gentle sweetness from the agave syrup sits beneath, tempering any sharpness without dominating. The overall impression is refreshing and nuanced, with no harsh alcohol notes despite the clean fermentation.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and pillowy, the wheat and oat malts providing a creamy mouthfeel that immediately distinguishes this from harsher sours. Citrus and subtle tartness develop through the mid-palate, with the acidity balanced rather than aggressive—the agave syrup acts as a brake, catching the sour edge before it overwhelms. Finish is dry and floral, with the wheat malt providing a gentle, lingering base note.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and moderately long, fading from citric tartness into a whisper of floral sweetness and grain. The refreshing quality persists, inviting another sip without any cloying residue.
