Neon Drift

◎ Appearance

Pale straw to light golden hue, characteristic of the style's low color intensity. The beer presents a persistent haze through der Hefe, creating a soft, diffused appearance rather than brilliant clarity. A fine, stable white head forms with moderate retention and clean lacing.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—lemon and grapefruit—layered over distinct tropical stone fruit notes. Beneath these hop-driven aromatics lies a subtle grassy character and a whisper of pale Malz sweetness that anchors the profile without dominating. The Cascade, Ekuanot, and Simcoe work in concert to create a fresh, inviting bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and bright, with citrus and tropical fruit flavors mirroring the aroma. The mid-palate remains light and crisp, with the torrefied wheat contributing a delicate, almost biscuity texture. A gentle, well-integrated bittering emerges in the mid-palate and carries through, finishing dry without harshness—the 50 IBU sits comfortably within the frame of the beer's delicate construction.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium in length, fading gracefully into a lingering citrus zest and a touch of grassy dryness. No harsh phenolics or rough edges linger; the aftertaste remains refreshing and encouraging of the next sip.
