Mariposa Sun

◎ Aussehen

Nearly colorless, with a pale straw hue that catches the light with crystalline clarity. The head forms quickly but settles to a thin, delicate foam that offers modest lacing. Carbonation is evident and lively, creating fine streams of bubbles that rise steadily through the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with the distinctive spicy, herbal character of Saaz hops—a whisper of black pepper and dried herbs mingles with subtle floral notes. Beneath this sits a clean, understated malt foundation that reads as plain cracker and light grain, with no fruit esters or warm fermentation notes to distract.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is delicate and crisp, with the malt presenting as simple cracker and cereal sweetness. The Saaz hop character emerges mid-palate with its characteristic spicy lift and a touch of herbal complexity. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the clean, dry finish to dominate without any lingering harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short and clean, with no aftertaste clinging to the palate. A refreshing dryness lingers briefly before dissipating completely, leaving the mouth ready for the next sip.
