Hopfensturm

◎ Appearance

Hopfensturm presents a clear, golden-yellow body with bright transparency and fine carbonation evident throughout. The head rises with moderate density and displays good adhesion to the glass, leaving a delicate lacing pattern that dissipates gradually. The overall presentation is refined and inviting, befitting a finely filtered ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced noble hop aromatics across eight varieties, delivering layered floral and herbal notes balanced by subtle citrus undertones from the dry-hop additions. Beneath the hop expression lies a clean, crisp malt base that grounds the composition without overshadowing the aromatic complexity. Yeast character remains restrained, allowing the Edelhopfen to take center stage.

◐ Taste

Entry reveals a crisp, light palate with immediate hop character—fruity and aromatic rather than aggressively bitter. The mid-palate sustains this balance with a gentle hop-forward progression and clean malt support, while the thirty IBUs provide structure without heaviness. The finish remains dry and refreshing, with no harsh bitterness or cloying sweetness to interrupt the smooth progression.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and short to medium in length, leaving a lingering impression of subtle florality and gentle hop resins. A refreshing, thirst-quenching sensation persists without astringency.
