Three Swords

◎ Aussehen

Three Swords presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that clings persistently to the glass wall. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating fine bubbles that sustain the foam structure throughout the tasting.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by the three American hop varieties, with pronounced citrus and stone fruit notes—characteristic of Centennial and Cascade—layered beneath a subtle herbal earthiness from Chinook. The Malz provides a clean, biscuity undertone that balances without overwhelming the aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with a crisp, dry entry where the fruity hop character takes the lead, delivering grapefruit and peach notes across the mid-palate. The 30 IBU bitterness is moderate and well-structured, finishing clean without harshness; the modest 4.5% ABV keeps the beer refreshing and sessionable.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the hop bitterness gradually receding to leave a subtle citrus and herbal impression. The aftertaste remains brief and refreshing, inviting another sip.
