◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a bright, translucent quality. A fine white head forms and disperses quickly, leaving only delicate lacing on the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, contributing to a clean visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

Restrained and inviting on the nose, with soft grain notes from malted barley and flaked corn providing a subtle sweetness. Mount Hood hops contribute a gentle, herbal undertone without dominance. The overall impression is clean and mineral-driven, with no fermentation esters or phenolic notes.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and dry, with a lean malt backbone that avoids heaviness. The palate shows light cereal and corn character balanced by a mineral crispness that persists through the mid-palate. Bitterness is minimal at seven IBU, allowing the drying mineral quality to define the flavor journey rather than hop aggression.

◑ Abgang

Short to medium finish with a clean, mineral aftertaste that lingers without becoming harsh. The dryness remains prominent, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
