Mandarin Squeeze

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden brew with a pale straw hue, turbid through the presence of yeast and fine suspended matter that catches the light. The dense, creamy head forms immediately and clings to the glass with good retention, leaving a fine lacework of foam down the sides. Vigorous carbonation drives persistent small bubbles through the body.

◌ Aroma

Mandarin and sweet orange dominate the nose, offering bright citrus aromatics that sit front and center. Beneath the fruit, soft malt sweetness and a whisper of noble hop character provide structure without overshadowing the citrus display. Minimal yeast character keeps the profile clean and approachable.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced mandarin and sweet orange notes that carry through the mid-palate with natural, juicy sweetness. A soft, pillowy mouthfeel envelops the flavors without heaviness, while moderate bitterness from the Edelhopfen rises gently at the mid-point, balancing the fruit and residual sweetness without drying the finish. The citrus remains bright throughout, making the 8% strength unobtrusive.

◑ Finish

The finish fades smoothly with lingering mandarin notes and a soft, dry hop bitterness that persists without harshness. The aftertaste remains fruity and erfrischend, encouraging another sip.
