FIGJAM

◎ Appearance

FIGJAM presents a deep gold body with amber undertones, characteristic of its balanced malt bill and moderate colour development. The pour yields a persistent, creamy head that demonstrates solid schaumhaftung, while the beer maintains excellent clarity throughout service. Carbonation is evident and well-integrated, supporting the visual presentation without excessive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced floral Edelhopfen character layered against stone fruit and tropical mango notes. Beneath the hop-forward aromatics lies a refined caramel Malz foundation that adds sweetness without dominating. Citrus pith and mandarin undertones emerge as the beer warms, creating a complex and evolving bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with caramel Malz sweetness that grounds the beer before a wave of resinous, earthy bitterness takes hold. Mid-palate reveals pawpaw and citrus fruit character, creating tension against the firm 60 IBU bitterness. The construction balances hop-driven resinosity with restrained malt sweetness, creating a layered drinking experience that rewards the timed hop additions.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately lengthy, dominated by citrus pith and zesty mandarin notes that persist cleanly. Residual bitterness fades gradually, leaving a refreshing, hoppy aftertaste without harshness.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
