Back In Bract 101

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and a fine, white head that settles into a delicate ring around the glass. Carbonation is present and lively, creating a gently active pour. The beer presents a clean, inviting visual profile typical of the pale ale category.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with crisp citrus notes—light grapefruit rind and white peach provide a stone-fruit counterpoint to pithy brightness. The experimental NZH 101 and Wai-iti hops deliver layered complexity without overwhelming the modest alcohol level, allowing subtle floral and herbal undertones to emerge alongside the leading citrus.

◐ Geschmack

The palate launches with punchy grapefruit juice and zest that commands attention despite the beer's low strength. Mid-palate develops a distinctive bitter-green character—bitter lime and fresh rhubarb notes add herbaceous tension and a slightly tart edge. Bitterness lingers at medium intensity without harshness, finishing drier than the aromatic entry might suggest.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and persistent, with citrus bitterness fading into herbal and green notes that linger on the palate. The low alcohol permits clean attenuation, leaving no sweetness behind.
