Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hopfenlust

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus—lemon and lime dominate the initial impression, supported by a gentle stone fruit sweetness of peach. Secondary notes of elderflower and blackcurrant add an herbal and slightly tart dimension, while the four-variety hop bill contributes a refined, floral complexity without aggression.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with citrus flavors mirroring the aroma—Citra and Cascade hops deliver bright lemon and lime notes alongside a subtle peach character. The mid-palate remains light and refreshing, with fine bittering from Summit and Sorachi Ace providing balance rather than intensity. The finish is dry and zesty, leaving a lingering citrus and herbal impression.

What is a Lager?

Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.

Finding a similar Lager
