Above the Clouds

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden-yellow body with bright, diffuse light refraction characteristic of the style. The dense, cream-colored head builds quickly and maintains even Schaumkleiden down the glass. Fine, persistent carbonation rises steadily through the cloudy suspension.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe tropical stone fruits—mango, passion fruit, and papaya—layered over resinous Edelhopfen notes. Subtle wheat and oat undertones provide a soft, grain-forward backdrop without harshness. No sharp phenolics or alcohol warmth despite the 8% ABV.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and full-bodied, with tropical fruit flavors dominating the mid-palate—guava, citrus, and peachy notes bloom across the tongue. The 50 IBU bitterness arrives measured and integrated, never aggressive, and the wheat-oat-barley Malz structure provides genuine weight that belies the alcohol level. Sweet fruit character and controlled bitterness remain in balance throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with lingering hop resin and dried citrus pith. Residual fruit sweetness fades gradually, leaving a pleasant dry sensation and absence of alcohol burn.
