Golden Ale 5 º 24 IBU

Karma

Karma Marilyn is a refined Blonde Ale that balances approachable malt character with an elegant continental hop influence. The sensory experience begins with soft, grainy malt sweetness, accented by a delicate interplay of herbal, citrus, and floral notes derived from noble continental hops. Its high fermentation profile remains clean, allowing the subtle honeyed malt and spicy hop nuances to shine. Despite being bottle-conditioned, it maintains a surprising clarity and a light, refreshing presence on the palate. The finish is crisp and medium-dry, making it a sophisticated yet highly drinkable expression of the style, defined by its balance and subtle aromatic complexity.

Appearance. Light yellow to pale gold (3-5 SRM). Surprising clarity with brilliant transparency. Pours with a moderate white head that shows fair retention and leaves light lacing on the glass. Natural sediment may be present at the bottom due to bottle conditioning.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a clean, soft malt profile with hints of white bread and a touch of sweetness. The hop character is delicate but distinct, offering herbal, floral, and light citrus notes typical of noble continental varieties. Clean fermentation with very low, negligible fruity esters.

Taste. Initial soft maltiness presents flavors of fresh bread and light grain. Hop flavors mirror the aroma with herbal and spicy notes, followed by a gentle citrus lift. Bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough structure to balance the malt without being aggressive. The profile is clean and well-integrated, leading to a crisp, medium-dry finish with a lingering touch of floral hops.

Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with a smooth, refreshing texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, contributing to a lively mouthfeel. No detectable alcohol warmth and no astringency.
