Fuchsteufelswuid

Tap to rate

Sour, cloudy and layered: a mixed fermentation with several yeast strains gives this Sour IPA its complex acidity, yet it stays finely balanced and easy to drink. Citrus and fruity notes come with Mosaic as the hop; the grist is pilsner, wheat, Cara hell and oat malt. 6.2 % ABV from 16° Plato. Brewed in Waakirchen.

AI-generated sensory profile for Fuchsteufelswuid

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-yellow with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass. Cloudiness from mixed fermentation yeast gives it an inviting, purposeful turbidity. Carbonation is gentle and well-integrated, supporting a delicate foam structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—lifted by Mosaic's characteristic fruitiness. Beneath runs a soft, grainy wheat note with a subtle funkiness from the mixed fermentation, kept refined rather than funky-forward. Yeasty undertones add a gentle complexity without harshness.

◐ Taste

Entry is tart and clean, with a well-measured acidity that frames citrus and stone fruit flavours across the mid-palate. Wheat malt provides a soft, creamy body that balances the sourness; oat malt rounds the mouthfeel into something smooth and easy-drinking. The low IBU (10) leaves bitterness minimal, allowing tartness and subtle dryness to define the finish.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
