Belhaven SOLAS

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A delicate white head forms quickly and recedes steadily, leaving fine, intermittent lacing on the glass. Carbonation is visible and lively, creating a gently effervescent character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with subtle fruity citrus notes—hints of lemon zest and grapefruit—alongside soft tropical fruit character. Underlying pale malt provides a light, grainy foundation, while noble hop varieties contribute delicate herbal undertones without assertiveness. Clean and inviting on the nose.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters light and crisp, with the citrus and tropical fruit notes carrying through clearly. Mid-palate remains dry and balanced, with pale malt contributing gentle sweetness that supports rather than dominates. Bitterness is restrained at 8 IBU, permitting the delicate hop and fruit character to shine without astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and short, with a delicately sweet aftertaste that lingers briefly before fading. No harsh drying or lingering bitterness; instead, a refreshing, approachable conclusion.
