Ploughman

◎ Aussehen

Ploughman presents a clear copper hue with good brilliance, reflecting the careful balance of Maris Otter and crystal malts. A modest head forms initially and clings to the glass with light, delicate lacing. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a soft visual presence without agitation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with gentle floral and earthy notes from Styrian Golding, underpinned by a subtle herbal whisper from Willamette. British yeast adds soft ester character—faintly fruity without dominating—while the Maris Otter and crystal malts contribute a light, biscuity warmth beneath. The overall impression is restrained and balanced.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and accessible, with the malt foundation offering a gentle sweetness that quickly transitions to a nuanced mid-palate. Black tea tannins emerge alongside earthy mineral notes, while the bitterness (30 IBU) remains rounded and supportive rather than assertive. The character sits comfortably between malt and hop, neither overshadowing the other.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with earthy and floral notes persisting on the palate. A light astringency frames the aftertaste without harshness, inviting another sip.
