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

Aroma médio-alto de defumado, bacon e carne de porco, bastante evidente e elegante. Aroma maltado no segundo plano, lembrando tostado e casca de pão. Fermentação limpa. Sem lúpulo.

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

2.5

Coloração marrom, com toques de rubi ao fundo do copo. Bastante brilhante. Espuma bronzeada de média formação e retenção.

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

No palato, bom equilíbrio entre defumado e maltado, de média intensidade, tendendo ao primeiro. Além dos descritores de aroma, é possível sentir um toque de madeira no sabor. O amargor médio-baixo dá suporte ao conjunto, que tem final seco ressaltado pelo defumado. Fermentação limpa.

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

Corpo médio e carbonatação média. Lembra as características de lager da base Marzen. Um pouco mais de carbonatação auxiliaria na drinkability.

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

Um excelente exemplar que traz defumado e maltado em harmonia, com destaque ao primeiro. Tanto no aroma quanto no sabor notamos um defumado elegante e um maltado que dá suporte, tudo isso sem perder as características de lager. O defumado poderia ser menos persistente no retrogosto, aumentando a drinkability.
