Manawa

◎ Aussehen

Opaque gold with a hazy, luminous quality that catches the light. The head is persistent and well-structured, leaving distinct lacing on the glass. Carbonation is visible but restrained, contributing to a soft, approachable visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit—pineapple and peach—underpinned by white grape and gooseberry from Nelson Sauvin. Fresh-cut citrus and mandarin complete the aromatic profile, with subtle red berry and sherbet notes adding complexity. The overall impression is bright and juicy, reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc aromatics.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and fruity, with peach and passion fruit arriving cleanly on the palate. Mid-palate develops gooseberry and mandarin notes, maintaining a crisp, wine-like character. Bitterness is measured at 60 IBU, providing structure without dominating the juicy, tropical character that defines the beer.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and relatively short, fading to a pleasant citrus and berry aftertaste. Dryness develops gradually, leaving the palate refreshed without harshness.
