Dolden Sommer Sud

◎ Appearance

A pale golden to orange hue with a cloudy, unfiltered appearance that speaks to the beer's natural character. The fine, persistent head builds readily and clings to the glass with good retention. Soft carbonation keeps the presentation lively without aggression, creating an inviting visual profile.

◌ Aroma

Citrus and mandarin notes greet the nose immediately, offering bright, fruity top notes characteristic of the hop selection. The aromatic profile remains restrained and summery, without sharp or aggressive edges. A light, supporting malt base provides gentle sweetness beneath the citrus, allowing the Edelhopfen character to remain the focal point.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with subtle citrus echoes that fade into a soft, lightweight malt body. Bitterness is delicate and well-integrated, finishing clean without the harshness typical of higher-IBU beers. The entry is smooth and approachable, with the malt providing a gentle foundation that never becomes cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and clean, with citrus impressions lingering gently before fading into a dry, refreshing aftertaste. No lingering hop bite or rough edges—instead, a pleasant, thirst-quenching conclusion that invites the next sip.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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