Dry and assertively bitter.

The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

pale goldenclearfine carbonationpersistent head

Aroma

The nose presents dominant resinous and piney hop character with pronounced citrus notes layered throughout. The aroma is clean and assertive without being aggressive, allowing the Edelhopfen to take center stage. A subtle, balanced malt foundation supports the hop aromatics without interfering.

Taste

The palate opens with bright hop flavor—piney, resinous, and citrus-forward from the first sip. A moderate bitterness develops in the mid-palate, balanced by a light, crisp malt sweetness that prevents harshness. The body remains refreshingly light, allowing the hop profile to remain the primary focus throughout.
