Hoppelhammer

◎ Appearance

Light golden in color with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass walls with good retention. The carbonation is lively, creating a steady stream of fine bubbles that maintains the foam collar throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive American hop character, leading with pine and citrus notes typical of Chinook and Cluster varieties. Beneath the hop-forward profile, subtle fruit esters emerge—stone fruit and green apple—alongside a light, clean malt base that supports without dominating the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is bright and fruit-forward, with immediate hop bitterness balanced by a modest, grainy malt sweetness that gives structure without heaviness. Mid-palate presents resinous hop layers and orchard fruit character, while the bitterness builds steadily toward the finish without becoming harsh or astringent.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with a robust resinous quality that coats the palate and slowly fades. Residual hop bitterness and a faint citrus pith note persist for several minutes, leaving a clean, crisp aftertaste.
