Fonio A Friend

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and lively carbonation. The white head settles to a thin collar with delicate lacing that clings to the glass throughout the drink. Visual presentation is clean and inviting, typical of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with herbal and floral notes from Nelson hops, layered with a subtle Sauvignon Blanc-like character. Beneath lies a gentle malt sweetness and clean grain impression from the fonio base, with no harsh phenolics or yeast esters.

◐ Geschmack

Crisp and dry on the palate, with light body and refreshing character. The fonio grain contributes a bready, slightly nutty quality in the mid-palate, while Nelson hops deliver restrained bitterness and herbal spice. Clean finish with minimal sweetness.

◑ Abgang

Short to medium finish that remains clean and refreshing. The aftertaste is dry with lingering herbal notes and no cloying residue.
