Nivard

◎ Aussehen

Nivard presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, persistent white head that leaves fine lacing on the glass. The carbonation is visible and lively, with a steady stream of small bubbles rising through the body. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, characteristic of a well-crafted Trappist single.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with gentle fruity esters—subtle notes of pear and stone fruit—followed by delicate floral hints from noble hops. A clean, soft malt backbone emerges, with a hint of biscuit sweetness. The yeast character is restrained and refined, allowing the hop and malt to speak without dominating.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is clean and crisp on entry, with a light, refreshing body that belies the beer's depth. Fruity esters and modest malt sweetness develop mid-palate, balanced by a gentle, restrained bitterness from Edelhopfen. The finish is dry and composed, with no harsh edges—an accessible yet refined drinking experience.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste fades gracefully with a lingering hint of malt sweetness and a whisper of floral hop character. The finish is short to medium in length, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.

Serviertemperatur 7–10°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Das breite Mundstück und der schwere Fuß fördern die Schaumbildung und leiten reiche Aromatik zur Nase. Traditionell für belgische Starkbiere.
