False Promise

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, delicate white head that leaves sparse but defined lacing on the glass. Bright and luminous, the beer presents a light and airy visual character befitting its modest 3.5% ABV. Carbonation appears gentle, creating a quiet effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with earthy oak and subtle Brett funk—a gentle farmyard character without aggression. Bright citrus notes emerge beneath, lending a fresh lemon quality that cuts through the wood-derived complexity. Underlying yeast character remains soft and integrated, allowing the interplay of oak and citrus to dominate.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and crisp, with a light body that carries oak influence and a whisper of funky complexity across the mid-palate. Tart acidity builds gently, supported by a dry, clean malt foundation and hints of spice from the fermentation. Bitterness remains restrained at 28 IBU, allowing tartness and funk to frame the finish without harsh edges.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and fairly quick, with lingering citrus acidity and a faint oakiness on the aftertaste. The Brett character fades gracefully, leaving the palate dry and refreshed.
