Hallertauer O'Drahts

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with exceptional clarity and a bright, luminous quality characteristic of a well-crafted lager. A fine white head forms readily and clings to the glass with visible lacing. The lively carbonation is immediately apparent, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the crystal-clear body.

◌ Aroma

The nose is fresh and well-defined, led by bright citrus fruit notes—lemon zest and white grapefruit dominate the top. Beneath the hop-forward character lies a clean, pale malt foundation with subtle floral and herbal undertones from the dry-hop addition. The aromatic profile is crisp and inviting, with no rough edges or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshing, with the pale malt providing a delicate, slightly sweet backbone at 11.5 degrees Plato. Mid-palate develops a gentle hop bitterness that remains in proportion, complementing rather than overwhelming the subtle grain character. The finish is markedly dry and prickling, with the carbonation adding tactile liveliness that carries through to the aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium in length, with a dry, slightly grainy quality that invites another sip. The moderate bitterness fades cleanly, leaving behind a refreshing, mineral-like sensation without harshness.
