Lieve

◎ Aussehen

Lieve presents a clear, burnished amber hue with good translucency. The head forms with moderate density and displays solid retention, leaving fine traces of lacing down the glass. Carbonation is present and visible, creating a steady stream of small bubbles that supports the structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a pronounced malty sweetness, carrying notes of caramel and toasted grain that speak to careful mashing. Beneath lies a gentle herbal hop presence—refined rather than assertive—with clean fermentation character that allows the organic grain bill to take centre stage. The overall impression is balanced and approachable.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with soft malt character and an inviting sweetness before transitioning to a gently warming mid-palate. Caramel and toast flavours build steadily, supported by a restrained but perceptible bitterness that arrives in the second half. The finish offers a refined bitterness rather than any harshness, with the malt providing a smooth, dry conclusion.

◑ Abgang

The finish is moderately long and dry, with the bitterness lingering cleanly without overstaying. A subtle malty dryness persists into the aftertaste, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
