Hopfen

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with brilliant clarity and a fine, persistent white head that builds and recedes in measured waves. The unfiltered character shows admirable brightness despite the absence of fining, while steady carbonation rises in delicate streams. Lacing clings cleanly to the glass in thin, deliberate strokes.

◌ Aroma

Fresh herbal and floral notes dominate, led by the distinctive pepper and mint character of Tettnanger balanced against the earthier, grassy profile of Mittelfrüh. The whole-cone drying preserves a subtle green-stem freshness alongside whispers of chamomile and a light honeyed sweetness that sits beneath. Malt presents as clean and restrained, allowing the noble hops to command the nose.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a soft malt sweetness before the noble hops arrive with delicate, refined bitterness—clean and herbal rather than aggressive. Mid-palate holds a gentle tension between the underlying honey note and the lingering herbal-floral grip, with no harsh edges. The finish remains dry without becoming austere, the bitterness resolving into a fading botanical whisper.

◑ Finish

Medium-length, with the herbal and floral notes fading gradually into a clean, slightly spicy aftertaste. The bitterness recedes rather than lingers, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
