Bauhöfer Hexensud

◎ Appearance

A pale, light gold hue with a soft, matt shimmer characteristic of an unfiltered pilsner. The head forms fine and dense, clinging to the glass with delicate lacing that persists through the drink. Bright carbonation is evident, though restrained, maintaining clarity despite the absence of filtration.

◌ Aroma

Floral noble-hop character dominates the nose, with pronounced geranium and a whisper of green apple creating a layered, refined bouquet. The Edelhopfen strikes a balance between perfumed florality and subtle fruit notes, with no harsh or vegetal edge. Malz provides a clean, neutral base that allows the hops to speak without obstruction.

◐ Taste

The palate enters slim and elegant, with a crisp, clean attack that transitions into a fine, dry bitter character. Hop bitterness remains defined and assertive throughout the mid-palate, underpinned by minimal Malz sweetness that keeps the beer refreshing rather than fullbodied. A citrusy thread weaves through the finish, complementing the herbal, Edelhopfen-driven profile.

◑ Finish

The finish arrives quickly and decisively, leaving behind a dry, lingering bitter note that fades cleanly without astringency. No residual sweetness lingers; instead, a herbal, slightly citric aftertaste invites the next sip.
