Clausthaler Naturtrüb

◎ Appearance

A warm amber hue with pronounced haze from suspended yeast, presenting a cloudy yet inviting visual character. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with notable persistence, leaving defined lacing on the walls. Carbonation is moderate and even, typical of the early-stopped fermentation.

◌ Aroma

Cascade hops deliver a bright citrus and floral bouquet on first nosing, with hints of orange peel and gentle herbal notes. Beneath sits a soft malty foundation with subtle caramel sweetness and a light toasted grain note. The yeast presence adds a delicate fruity undertone without harshness, creating an inviting and balanced nose.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a full, rounded mouthfeel that belies the low alcohol content. Malty character anchors the mid-palate with soft caramel notes, while the Cascade dry-hopping contributes a dry, citrusy bitterness that builds gradually. The 30 IBU provides structure and definition without becoming aggressive, leaving the malt sweetness as the dominant impression.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the citrus bite fading to a pleasant lingering malt sweetness. A gentle grainy note persists gently on the palate, inviting another sip.
