Aroma Comment on malt, hops, esters, and other aromatics

O Acetaldeído toma conta no primeiro plano, num segundo plano aparece um malte granulado baixo, casca de pão, e acompanha um medio baixo amargor que remete a terroso e herbal.

Appearance Comment on color, clarity, and head (retention, color, and texture)

Brilhante, limpida, espuma marfim, media formação e baixa retenção de espuma

Flavor Comment on malt, hops, fermentation characteristics, balance, finish/aftertaste, and other flavor characteristics

O acetaldeído é um incômodo nessa cerveja pois ele aparece nitidamente num primeiro plano o que torna a percepção de segundas camadas mais difícil. Mas ainda assim percebe-se uma construção boa de malte lembrando tostado, granulado. Segue também caráter frutado de ameixas. Final seco.

Mouthfeel Comment on body, carbonation, warmth, creaminess, astringency, and other palate sensations

Cerveja de baixa carbonatação, sem calor aparente, leve adstringência, seca.

Overall Impression Comment on overall drinking pleasure associated with entry, give suggestions for improvement

A construção do maltado e caráter de lúpulo foram muito bem organizadas e tem um potencial muito interessante. A concentração alta de acetaldeído é o que mais incomoda a degustação da cerveja, controles como boa cepa de levedura, uma boa aeração no mosto e um bom controle de fermentação podem ajudar consideravelmente na exclusão desse off.
