Cynic

◎ Aussehen

Pale gold in color with excellent clarity and a bright, effervescent character. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, giving the beer a vibrant, inviting presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright lemony citrus from Columbus and Styrian Goldings hops, underscored by a subtle black pepper spice characteristic of the Belgian yeast strain. Behind the hop aromatics sit soft pilsner and aromatic malt notes that frame the composition without dominating.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with crisp hoppy bitterness—moderate but present—balanced by a clean, dry malt foundation. The lemony citrus character carries through the mid-palate, joined by the peppery yeast character and a subtle fruity undercurrent from the fermentation. Oats contribute a whisper of silky texture without sweetness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is notably dry and tingly, with the carbonation adding to a refreshing, lingering sensation. Hop spice and lemon notes fade gradually, leaving behind a clean, refreshing aftertaste.
