Dragonfly Namsen

◎ Aussehen

Dark brown with a reddish tinge, presenting a clear and luminous body beneath a light-brown head. The head holds with moderate retention, displaying fine Schaumkleiden around the glass. Carbonation appears well-integrated, suggesting a measured effervescence typical of the style.

◌ Aroma

Toasted rye bread and grain dominate the nose, with a pronounced malty sweetness underneath. Mandarina Bavaria hops contribute subtle citrus notes that complement rather than lead. The overall aromatic profile is anchored in cereal and breadiness, inviting but restrained.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and malty, with toasted grain and rye bread flavors establishing the palate immediately. Mid-palate shows a balanced sweetness with gentle roasted undertones and faint citrus character from the Mandarina Bavaria. Bitterness remains low and well-proportioned at 39 IBU, never sharp, allowing the bread and malt to persist through to the finish.

◑ Abgang

Finish is medium in length, with lingering notes of toasted grain and subtle sweetness. Aftertaste remains clean and slightly warming from the 8.5% ABV, without harshness.
