King Ape Fassgereift

◎ Aussehen

A pale amber to light chestnut hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with persistent lacing, characteristic of a well-structured fruit beer matured in oak.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh grape pomace—ripe, slightly dried stone fruit rather than candied sweetness. Underneath lies a restrained woody undertone from twelve months in oak barrel, complemented by subtle malt structure that anchors the fruit without overwhelming it.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and fruity with dark fruit character from the Seyval Blanc base, mid-palate carries that grape-driven fruitiness alongside gentle oak tannins. Bitterness emerges gradually but decisively, building toward a woody, assertive finish that lingers pleasantly without harshness.

◑ Abgang

A medium-long, drying finish with woody and bitter notes that persist gently on the palate. The grape character fades while oak and subtle hop bitterness dominate the aftertaste, leaving the mouth refreshed and prepared for another sip.
