Nado

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that settles to a thin lacing around the glass. Carbonation is visibly active, creating a lively bead that sustains throughout the pour. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, typical of a well-executed light lager.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a soft, slightly sweet note of freshly cooked sticky rice that dominates the sensory profile. Beneath this primary character, subtle herbal and floral notes emerge from the Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops, with a delicate whisper of citrus peel. The overall impression is clean and restrained, allowing the rice adjunct to define the aromatic identity.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is exceptionally dry, with the rice providing a light, crisp foundation that keeps the beer refreshingly lean. Bitterness is gentle and well-integrated at 19 IBU, presenting as a subtle herbal and citrus impression rather than any aggressive hop character. The mid-palate remains clean and restrained, allowing the adjunct character and minimal malt sweetness to work in balance.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and crisp, with the yuzu and citrus peel notes lingering briefly before fading into a bone-dry aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or astringency interrupts the departure.
