Foam Climb

◎ Appearance

Foam Climb presents a slightly hazy golden hue that catches light with warmth and approachability. The head is persistent and fine-grained, clinging to the glass with visible Schaumkleiden. Carbonation is brisk and well-integrated, supporting the beer's medium body without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced tropical fruit and stone fruit character—ripe peach and mandarin dominate the first impression. Supporting notes of orange zest and a subtle herbal undertone from Chinook emerge as the beer warms. The Citra and Cascade hops contribute a clean, citric brightness without harsh resinousness.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with the pale ale and pilsner malt providing a gentle, biscuity foundation. Mid-palate develops the promised stone fruit and tropical notes, while a fine tart edge—reminiscent of grape seed tannin—begins to emerge. The 50 IBU bitterness is restrained but present, building gradually toward the finish without overwhelming the fruit character.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and crisp, with the tart grape-seed quality lingering pleasantly on the palate. The aftertaste leans toward citric and herbal rather than bitter, allowing the beer to feel clean and refreshing despite its pronounced hopping.
