Heliades' Tears

◎ Aussehen

A clear amber pour with a warm, burnished copper hue. The head forms with moderate density and settles to a thin collar, leaving fine lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is gentle and persistent, creating a soft visual texture.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced caramel and toffee notes, layered with a subtle toasted maltiness. Northern Brewer hops contribute a restrained herbal backdrop without dominating, allowing the candy-like sweetness to remain central. No sharp alcohol heat; the aromatics remain soft and inviting.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full and malty, with caramel and Carastan malts providing rich, candy-forward sweetness across the mid-palate. C120 adds a toasted complexity that prevents cloying character. Bitterness is low and measured at 24 IBU, allowing malt to lead throughout; hop bitterness is barely perceptible.

◑ Abgang

The finish lingers gently with residual caramel and a whisper of toast, tapering to a soft, slightly sticky sweetness. Aftertaste is clean and malty, with no harsh edges.
