Citrus Hopslam

◎ Aussehen

Bright golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible throughout. A dense, off-white head forms generously and clings to the glass with strong lacing, typical of the snifter service recommended by the brewery.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by vibrant citrus: prominent orange zest and grapefruit pith lead, with underlying resinous hop character from Citra and Nectaron. Light toasted grain notes provide a subtle backbone, while the alcohol presence is noticeable but well-integrated.

◐ Geschmack

Citrus flavors drive the palate from entry through mid-palate, with orange and grapefruit zest layered over a clean, moderately sweet malts base. Bitterness develops gradually, reaching a moderate 80 IBU bite without overwhelming the fruit character. The 10% ABV provides warmth and body without harsh alcohol burn.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and enduring, with lingering citrus peel and a dry, resinous hop fade. The bitterness persists pleasantly into the aftertaste.
