Hop Pickers' Pale

◎ Aussehen

Hazy pale gold with a soft, diffuse cloudiness throughout the body. A modest off-white head forms quickly and settles to a thin collar with light lacing. The haziness arises from suspended yeast and grain proteins rather than poor clarity, characteristic of the style.

◌ Aroma

Bright tropical fruit dominates the nose—ripe mango, pineapple, and white grape notes lead, with a subtle orange zest underpinning. Soft wheat and pale Malz provide a gentle, bready foundation without astringency. The English ale yeast contributes a clean, fruity character that does not mask the hop expression.

◐ Geschmack

The entry is soft and slightly creamy, with wheat and pale Malz delivering a delicate body that avoids heaviness. Mid-palate unfolds with tropical stone fruit and citrus from Citra, Nectaron, and Hallertau Blanc, creating a balanced fruit-forward character. Bitterness remains restrained at 40 IBU, finishing with gentle herbal resin rather than sharp bite.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and refreshing, with tropical notes fading gradually into a subtle herbaceous dryness. No harsh bitterness lingers; instead, the aftertaste remains fruit-forward and inviting.
