Maharaja IPA

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber hue with a reddish undertone, displaying excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head with fine adhesion to the glass. The beer presents bright, active carbonation visible as a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—grapefruit and orange peel—layered over a pronounced dank, herbal character from the dry hop blend. Beneath the hop-forward aromatics sits a substantial caramel and toffee foundation, with emerging alcohol warmth at the edges of the glass.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with caramel and toffee malts that establish a rich, sweet entry, followed by assertive citrus and resinous hop bitterness that builds through the mid-palate. The 80 IBU are well-integrated, neither overshadowing the malt backbone nor dissolving into it; the 10% ABV provides weight and slight warming without harshness, while the dank edge persists as a lingering complexity.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with citrus and dank herbal notes extending into a moderate aftertaste. A gentle bittering warmth and subtle caramel echo round out the close.
