Störtebeker Pazifik-Ale

◎ Appearance

Bright golden hue with excellent clarity and fine, persistent head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass walls. Well-carbonated with a lively bead that sustains throughout the tasting. The color suggests a restrained malt backbone typical of the IPA style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean citrus and tropical stone fruit—orange and passionfruit—from the Pacific hop selection. A light, herbal edge frames the aromatics without veering into resinous territory. Subtle malt undertones provide structure without competing with the hops.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing with immediate citrus bite. The mid-palate carries tropical and fruity notes with balanced bitterness that builds gently rather than assaults. Dry finish with no lingering sweetness—the 60 IBU bitterness integrates cleanly into the overall composition.

◑ Finish

Medium-length dry finish with persistent hoppy bitterness that invites another sip. No astringency or harsh edges, just clean, lingering hop character that fades gracefully.
