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

Maltado doce destacado, típico do trigo, com tons de mel. Frutado cítrico doce baixo. Quase imperceptível notas condimentadas do coentro. Perfil de levedura belga presente, mas suave.

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

Amarelo-palha bem claro, esbranquiçado, típico do estilo. Colarinho pequeno, cremoso, de média persistência (aumentar esse ponto seria melhor).

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

Maltado doce, novamente com notas de mel em primeiro plano. Cítrico da laranja aparece com intensidade moderada, chamando bastante a atenção e dando refrescância. O condimentado é reservado para o final, com notas herbais e picantes. Amargor baixo, final seco e saboroso.

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

Corpo médio, final seco, carbonatação média-alta. Sem adstringência ou acidez relevantes. A carbonatação limpa bastante o paladar doce do malte, deixando um retrogosto somente condimentado. Pede o próximo gole.

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

Sem dúvidas um excelente representante do estilo. Sem offs, turva, bem equilibrada entre o doce + cítrico + condimentado. Acho que poderia ficar ainda melhor se as notas herbais (lúpulo) fossem mais presentes, adicionando uma camada interessante de sabor e aroma.
