Hero West Coast IPA

◎ Aussehen

Light golden hue with excellent clarity and a luminous quality that catches the eye. The head forms with moderate density and maintains a fine, delicate Schaumkleiden around the glass as it settles. Carbonation is crisp and persistent, lending visual liveliness to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant Citra and Mosaic hop character, delivering pronounced citrus notes—lemon zest and subtle grapefruit—without any alcohol burn. Beneath the hops lies a clean, understated Malz foundation that remains in the background. Overall impression is fresh, approachable, and thirst-inducing rather than complex.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is light and crisp, with immediate hop bitterness that is measured rather than aggressive at 60 IBU. The mid-palate shows good definition from the Citra and Mosaic, with citrus flavors registering cleanly without sweetness or fullness. Finish is notably dry, the bitterness persisting gently into the aftertaste without harshness.

◑ Abgang

Short to medium dry finish that leaves the palate refreshed and clean. The hop bitterness lingers briefly before fading, leaving no residual sweetness or warming sensation.
