| Lively pour, plenty of carbonation and a
delicate foam which is adequate but doesn’t last too long. The color is
pale golden and slightly hazy. There’s a good presence in the aroma for
this style, mostly sweet with some fruitiness as well as a floral hop and
a brief hint of herbs. The palate works very well with a nice tingly sharp
carbonation providing for a very refreshing and spritzy mouthfeel. It’s
light to medium bodied. A malty sweetness defines the initial flavor, with
a light berry-like fruitiness as well as a subdued citrus. There’s a
good crisp bitter finish and a little dryness. The aftertaste is not too
long but adequate. It does leave a little sourness in the back and
finishes a little sticky, but the hops are just bold enough. Deserves a recommendation, reminding me very much of a German pilsner, and especially suited to Indian curries or sweeter chutney's. |
