2.5

Coloração dourada. Cerveja límpida e brilhante. Espuma branca de média formação e média-baixa retenção.

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

Amargor médio-alto, bastante agradável e sem aspereza (harsh). Sabor de lúpulo de média intensidade, trazendo frutas cítricos e pinho. Maltado semelhante ao aroma, lembrando grãos, e apenas dando suporte ao lúpulo. Final seco, onde o amargor persiste no retrogosto. Fermentação limpa. Sem sabor alcoólico.

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

4.5

Corpo médio-baixo, bastante agradável, mas sem a textura suave descrita no estilo. Carbonatação médio-alta. Sem aspereza e sem aquecimento alcoólico.

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

Um excelente exemplar que representa muito bem o estilo. O amargor é o carro chefe, com o malte dando o suporte necessário. Aparência e sensação de boca quase perfeitas. Ponto de melhoria vai para o lúpulo: tanto no aroma quanto no sabor, ele poderia aparecer mais. Sugiro aumentar a carga de lúpulos aromáticos.
