Gladjanus

◎ Appearance

Gladjanus presents a pale golden hue with a slightly hazy, cloudy character typical of the White IPA style. The head is fine and persistent, leaving delicate lacing on the glass as it recedes. Carbonation is bright and lively, suggesting good conditioning.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent lychee and mandarin notes, immediately characteristic and inviting. Grapefruit acidity follows, layered with subtle herbal hoppy undertones that frame the fruit without dominating. A gentle wheaten backdrop rounds out the aromatic profile, keeping the bouquet balanced and approachable.

◐ Taste

On the palate, citrus and tropical fruit take the lead, with mandarin and grapefruit providing bright acidity through the mid-palate. The wheat base adds softness and subtle sweetness, preventing harshness. Bitterness arrives cleanly at 60 IBU, offering structure without aggression, finishing dry and refreshing at a modest 5.2% ABV.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively short, with lingering citrus notes and a gentle herbal dryness from the Edelhopfen. Refreshment dominates over complexity, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
