Woodburn

◎ Aussehen

Woodburn presents a bright golden-yellow hue with excellent clarity and fine, persistent carbonation. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with good adhesion, leaving distinct lacing on each sip.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with citrus intensity from the single-origin Oregon hop blend, offering bright notes of grapefruit and tangerine. Beneath this sits a subtle balsamic undertone and light spice, while the Pilsner and Munich malts contribute a soft, grainy foundation without heaviness.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and dry, with immediate citrus character from the Strata, Idaho 7, and Chinook hops. The mid-palate shows balanced bitterness at 50 IBU—assertive but not aggressive—with a touch of herbal resin and lingering grapefruit notes. Caramel malt provides light sweetness that sits in the background, allowing the hop profile to dominate.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and moderately dry, with bitterness fading gradually into a clean, herbaceous aftertaste. No warmth or alcohol heat is apparent, despite the 7.1% ABV.
