Very dry and assertively bitter.

A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Aroma

A pronounced citrus bouquet dominates, with blood orange peel and mandarin zest leading the charge. Citra brings grapefruit and lime notes, while Mandarina Bavaria adds a candied, slightly floral quality. The noble hop character is clean and bright, with a subtle malt backbone that remains nearly transparent.

Taste

Entry is snappy and fruit-forward, with immediate citrus impact from the blood orange and hop combination. Mid-palate develops a balanced bitterness at 60 IBU that accentuates rather than overwhelms the fruity character, while a touch of tropical fruit emerges in the middle. The malt structure provides a clean, lean foundation without sweet or caramel notes.
