Melonian Rhapsody

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright, lively carbonation. The head is fine and persistent, leaving delicate lacing that clings to the glass as you drink. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, characteristic of a well-crafted pale ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe melon and tropical stone fruit—peach and mango—complemented by citrus notes from Citra and HBC 630 hops. Beneath the bright fruit sits a subtle vanilla sweetness and soft wood character from barrel contact, creating a layered and sophisticated aromatic profile that remains fresh throughout.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with silky, rounded body and immediate fruity sweetness balanced by moderate, clean bitterness. Mid-palate reveals vanilla and gentle oak tannin weaving through melon and citrus notes without dominating. The bitterness remains integrated and restrained, allowing the fruit and malt sweetness from pale and oat malts to maintain presence.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and slightly woody, with a lingering dry note that does not overwhelm. The aftertaste echoes melon and subtle oak spice, fading cleanly without residual harshness.
