◎ Aussehen

Pours a bright, crystalline gold with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible throughout. A dense, persistent white head forms and clings to the glass walls with good adhesion, leaving delicate lacing as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean grainy malt character, showing subtle breadiness from the two-row base. A gentle peppery spice emerges alongside earthy, floral hop notes from Mt. Hood, creating a balanced and inviting profile without aggressive aromatic intensity.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is light and smooth, allowing the grain base and subtle corn adjunct to establish a delicate sweetness. Mid-palate develops a fine lemon character with layered rye spice, while Mt. Hood hops contribute a restrained, earthy bitterness that resolves into a crisp, dry finish without astringency.

◑ Abgang

Crisp and dry, with the grain leaving a subtle, lingering bitterness that fades cleanly. The aftertaste remains refreshing and mineral-forward, inviting another sip without residual sweetness.
