Hedgerow

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden hue dominates the glass, reflecting the beer's moderate colour intensity at 8 SRM. The pour develops a substantial, cream-coloured head with good retention and fine lacing that clings to the sides. Carbonation is lively and persistent, creating an inviting, freshly poured appearance.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with grassy and herbaceous hedgerow character, anchored by the floral spice of Bramling Cross. Stone fruit aromatics—passionfruit, peach, and apricot—weave through the profile with delicate sweetness, supported by subtle Malz undertones that add roundness without heaviness. Whole-cone hopping contributes a fuller, more dimensional hop character than pellets would deliver.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and crisp, with the malt foundation providing gentle sweetness that balances the hop presence. Mid-palate reveals the full effect of whole-cone brewing: a rounder, deeper bitterness that integrates smoothly rather than asserting sharp edges, complemented by lingering stone fruit character. The 35 IBU register as composed and measured, allowing malt and fruit to remain in conversation.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium in length, drying gradually without harshness. A subtle grassy-herbal note persists in the aftertaste, leaving the palate refreshed and inviting another sip.
