Mannenliefde – Saison
Mannenliefde blends farmhouse tradition with deliberate openness. Sorachi Ace hops bring herbal and coconut notes to the front, while lemongrass adds brightness to the palate. Szechuan pepper arrives with a gentle bite, sharpening the finish without overshadowing the fruit beneath. At 6 percent it drinks lighter than you'd expect, dry and appetising. Best served cool, in a wide bowl or chalice, where the aromatics can breathe.
