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

Ambar, opaca, espuma branca-levemente vermelha com alta formação e baixa retenção.

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

Na boca sabor dos lupulos aparece novamente, com intensidade media, acompanhado do malte que proporciona bom equilibrio. Final é seco, amargor medio que permanece na boca, junto com sabor herbáceo e citrico de lupulo. Sem sabor aparente de fermentacao. Equilibrio entre malte e lupulo, tendendo ao lupulo. Retrogosto com notas cítricas.

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

Corpo medio, carbonatacao media, sem calor alcoólico, sem cremosidade e adstringencia.

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

Cerveja com bastante equilibrio entre maltes e lupulos, tanto no aroma quanto no sabor. Na boca o amargor é assertivo e junto com o final seco traz boa bebibilidade. Uma pequena falha observada foi a retenção de espuma muito rápida. No mais encaixa muito bem no estilo.
