Wodan

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a fine, persistent white head and excellent lacing. The body shows good clarity typical of the style, with steady carbonation evidenced by a gentle stream of bubbles. The color sits at the lighter end of the spectrum, allowing light to pass through with a luminous quality.

◌ Aroma

A complex nose dominated by ripe citrus and stone fruit, with prominent Citra and Amarillo hops creating grapefruit and orange peel notes. Beneath lies a soft wheat character and subtle banana-clove esters from the weizen yeast, underpinned by a light toasted malts foundation. The aromatic profile balances bright hop presence with traditional Hefeweizen spice.

◐ Taste

Entry brings immediate citrus sweetness and fruit-forward character from the three noble hops, followed by a malty mid-palate that carries wheat and Munich malt depth. The 40 IBU provides moderate bitterness that persists without overwhelming the fruity core, while the 9.5% alcohol adds weight and subtle warmth. The fullness of body comes from generous malt presence, creating a beer that drinks heavier than typical Hefeweizen.

◑ Finish

The finish is warm and lingering, with bitterness carrying through alongside residual fruit character and a gentle alcoholic warmth. The aftertaste fades gradually, leaving traces of citrus pith and wheat grain.
