Summer Swallow

◎ Aussehen

Summer Swallow presents a bright, pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible throughout the glass. The head forms with modest density and exhibits good retention and lacing, leaving delicate trails down the sides as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced citrus notes—fresh lemon zest dominates—backed by resinous herbal character from the Chinook and Bramling Cross hops. Beneath lies a clean, understated pale malt base that frames rather than overwhelms the aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is immediately crisp and dry, with the lemon character translating cleanly from the aroma into the mid-palate. Resinous hop bitterness builds steadily without harshness, supported by a light, lean body derived from the Maris Otter and pale cara malts. The finish remains bone-dry with lingering citrus and gentle resin notes.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and short-to-medium, with the hop resin and lemon persisting pleasantly on the palate without becoming astringent. The dryness is the defining characteristic of the aftertaste.
