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

Aroma de malte de média intensidade, lembrando pão tostado e nozes. Aroma de lúpulo é baixo, picante, e bastante sutil. Sem ésteres aparentes. Fermentação limpa.

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

Coloração cobre. Cerveja límpida e brilhante. Espuma bege, cremosa, de média alta formação e retenção.

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

No palato, o malte é menos rico que no aroma, lembrando tosta e casca de pão. O balanço é definitivamente amargo, de média-alta intensidade, com final seco. Sabor de lúpulo picante, médio baixo. Ao fim do gole, amargo acaba dominando e persiste mais que o ideal. Sem éster. Fermentação limpa.

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

4.5

Corpo médio. Carbonatação médio-alta. Sem cremosidade. Levíssima aspereza no palato.

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

7.5

Um excelente exemplar, que traz uma presença maltada no aroma, e um balanço de malte e amargor no palato. No sabor, o amargor poderia ser ligeiramente menos assertivo (o malte acaba parecendo apagado, o que prejudica o conjunto). No geral, uma boa cerveja.
