Dolden Sud IPA

◎ Appearance

Bright orange pour with excellent clarity despite being unfiltered. A fine-pored, stable head forms and clings to the glass with good lacing as you drink down. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, giving the beer a fresh, inviting visual presence.

◌ Aroma

Tropical fruit dominates the nose, with distinct mango and passion fruit character backed by subtle summer florals. A clean, slightly spicy herbal note emerges as the beer warms, with no yeast-driven esters or phenols. The Edelhopfen character is restrained but present, lending a fresh, garden-like quality.

◐ Taste

The palate opens malty and soft, with grain-forward sweetness from the barley and emmer blend, then pivots toward a brisk hop bitterness that integrates seamlessly. Citrus zest—lime and lemon—cuts across the mid-palate with a peppery edge that adds complexity. The bitterness is never harsh, remaining pleasant and balanced against the underlying malt structure.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and firmly bitter, with the hop character persisting into a dry, slightly peppery aftertaste. No sweetness lingers; instead, a clean, bitter grip builds and holds through the final swallow.

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.
