Tasting Notes

Visually, Aradia appears golden amber, clear and bright, with a compact and persistent white foam that testifies to the artisanal quality of the production.

The nose bursts with intense aromas of fresh citrus and tropical fruit: grapefruit, orange, mandarin, pineapple, and mango intertwine in a complex aromatic bouquet. A light resinous pine note completes the olfactory profile, adding complexity without being intrusive.

On the palate, the caramel malt base is enveloping and subtle, supporting the intense hop aromas without overpowering them. The body is medium-full, with lively carbonation that perfectly balances the malt sweetness. The taste recalls the citrus and tropical notes from the nose, with a firm but never aggressive bitterness that cleanses the palate and invites another sip.

Balance is Aradia’s true strength: every element is in the right place, creating a harmonious and satisfying drinking experience.
