Space Cactus

◎ Appearance

Hazy pale golden hue with a SRM of 5, presenting as distinctly cloudy and opaque throughout the glass. A dense, creamy head forms on the pour and clings persistently to the glass walls, demonstrating excellent head retention characteristic of the style. Carbonation appears moderate, supporting the soft mouthfeel without aggressive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus and grapefruit notes, followed by berry undertones that add complexity and a subtle tropical backdrop. Raw wheat and oat adjuncts contribute a soft, grainy quality that complements the Edelhopfen character without harsh grain alcohol aromas. The overall aromatic profile remains approachable and balanced, neither assertively bitter nor muted.

◐ Taste

Citrus and grapefruit flavors dominate the entry, transitioning into a broad, soft mid-palate where raw wheat and flaked oats create a velvety texture. The 50 IBU bitterness registers as moderate and well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the fruity character. Full-bodied yet smooth, the beer maintains remarkable creaminess on the palate, balancing hop bitterness with subtle berry sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with citrus notes lingering softly into the aftertaste. Refreshing qualities emerge as residual creaminess fades, leaving a balanced impression of fruit and restrained hoppy dryness.
