Ganscha Hanfbier

◎ Appearance

Light yellow with natural cloudiness throughout, presenting the characteristic haze of a fresh Zwickl. The head is modest but stable, with fine carbonation visible in the glass. Sediment from the hemp flour and yeast remains in suspension, contributing to the opaque, inviting appearance.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with delicate floral and herbal notes from the Purple Star hemp, complemented by a ripe, Mediterranean spice character. Beneath these sits a soft nutty malt foundation that grounds the profile without overwhelming. The hemp aroma is distinct and fresh, neither aggressive nor shy—a hallmark of thoughtful integration.

◐ Taste

The entry is immediately refreshing, with hemp flavour taking centre stage on the front palate. A graceful hop backbone provides structure and gentle bitterness (30 IBU), while nutty malt character adds richness and subtle sweetness. The mid-palate balances these elements with elegant restraint, allowing each component to speak without conflict.

◑ Finish

The hemp truly comes into its own as the beer fades, leaving a herbaceous and slightly peppery aftertaste that lingers with grace. The finish is dry and clean, with lingering nuttiness providing a satisfying close.
