Dragonfly Girl with Red Ballon

◎ Aussehen

Dark golden hue with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head that clings elegantly to the glass. The carbonation is refined and restrained, appropriate to the style. Visual presence suggests both refinement and weight without opacity.

◌ Aroma

Cognac cask character leads the nose with subtle warmth and oak influence, layered beneath ripe berry and honeydew melon notes from the Bramling Cross and Huell Melon hops. The malt foundation provides a soft, honeyed sweetness without assertiveness. Spice emerges gently on extended nosing, never sharp or intrusive.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and malty, with the palate enveloped by silky texture and a caressing sweetness that evolves into citrus and berry complexity mid-sip. The 31 IBU bitterness remains low and balanced, allowing the oak-derived spice and stone fruit character to dominate. Strength is expertly integrated—warmth exists without alcohol burn.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste lingers gently with residual honeyed sweetness, oak spice, and a faint berry echo. Clean without harshness, the finish leaves the palate satisfied yet unburdened.
