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

Aroma moderada de lúpulo (tipicamente alemão) com notas florais e herbais. Aroma baixo de malte que lembra grãos. Ésteres não aparecem no aroma.

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

Cerveja quase dourada, de colarinho branco, compacto e cremoso, finas bolhas, de moderada-alta formação e retenção.

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

Sabor maltado e lupulado aparecem em equilíbrio no exemplar. Malte remete a grãos, com alguma complexidade de tosta, típico de reações de maillard, em moderada intensidade. Amargor médio e limpo. Moderadamente lupulada com notas herbais e condimentadas. Final seco com retrogosto que apresenta malte e lúpulo que persiste. Não apresenta esterificação.

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

Corpo médio, de média-alta carbonatação, sem adstringência.

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

Cerveja que enfatiza o equilíbrio do malte e lúpulo sem que nenhum dos elementos roube a cena. Malte vem trazendo complexidade e é complementada com o sabor floral/herbal do lúpulo, que persiste por toda a degustação. Características de uma fermentação limpa, alta carbonatação e o equilíbrio entre os componentes aumentam significatimente a drinkabilidade do exemplar. Optei por julgar como uma Czech Premium Pale Lager, mas para o estilo falta amargor.
