Bolleke Hop

◎ Appearance

Bolleke Hop presents a hazy amber body with a light golden-orange hue, reflecting its moderate crystal malt bill. The cloudiness comes from yeast in suspension, lending the beer an intentionally opaque, rustic character. A modest white head forms and persists with gentle lacing, while fine carbonation creates a soft visual texture throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh citrus and herbal hop character from the dry-hopping with Saaz and Simcoe. Noble-hop spice and resinous notes sit alongside a subtle floral backdrop, while the malt foundation remains understated—a light biscuit sweetness that doesn't compete with the hop-driven profile. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with aromatic complexity that speaks to deliberate late-hop additions.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a bright hop bitterness (25 IBU) that frames rather than overwhelms, supported by citrus and a peppery spice note that develops across the mid-palate. Malt contributes a light, slightly grainy sweetness that balances the drying effect of the hopping; the body remains medium and refreshing without heaviness. Bitterness persists into the finish, clean and articulate, with lingering citrus and herbaceous notes.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with hop bitterness fading to a subtle herbal and citrus lingering. The 5.6% ABV ensures no warming sensation, leaving a refreshing, thirst-quenching aftertaste.
