Hop Sprocket

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with pronounced haziness throughout, characteristic of the style. The dense, pillowy head forms quickly and maintains excellent retention, clinging to the glass with fine lacing. Active carbonation drives persistent bubble trails upward through the cloudy body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus—grapefruit and lemon zest—layered beneath ripe tropical stone fruits and passionfruit. A gentle floral sweetness from the Edelhopfen emerges as the beer warms, underpinned by soft, barely perceptible malt character that frames without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and full, delivering immediate tropical and citrus juice character with minimal bitterness despite the generous dry-hopping ratio. The mouthfeel remains remarkably smooth and creamy, with juicy mid-palate presence and subtle sweetness that balances the 7.3% ABV seamlessly. The 20 IBU restraint allows the hop character to shine as flavor rather than bite, finishing dry and refreshing without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish fades cleanly with lingering citrus and stone fruit notes that persist gently on the palate. A light, slightly sweet aftertaste gives way to refreshing dryness without harshness.
