Nine Tales

◎ Aussehen

Nine Tales presents a copper-red hue with good clarity and a well-formed head that clings persistently to the glass. The carbonation is moderate and even, creating a gentle sparkle that supports the beer's rounded character. The color deepens slightly toward amber at the edges, reflecting the crystal malts at its core.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced caramel and toffee notes from the pale and crystal malts, followed by a subtle nuttiness and light bready undertones. Super Pride and Willamette hops introduce citrus brightness and a faint herbal earthiness that prevents the malt sweetness from becoming cloying. The overall impression is balanced and approachable, with no sharp edges.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with soft malt sweetness—caramel and toffee dominate the entry and mid-palate, supported by a bready, nutty character that adds complexity. The 20 IBU bitterness arrives gently in the middle, never aggressive, while citrus notes from the hops provide a pleasant counterpoint. The body is notably full and rounded for its 5% strength, with a smooth texture throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish extends with pleasant length, carrying caramel sweetness and a light herbal note into the aftertaste. A dry, subtle bitterness emerges on the back of the palate, grounding the overall sweetness without dominance.
