Rieder IPA Indian Pale Ale

◎ Aussehen

Naturally hazy amber in the glass, displaying the characteristic cloudiness from suspension through yeast. The foam presents with modest but stable retention, building a fine white head that clings gently to the sides. Bright carbonation animates the body throughout, lending visual liveliness to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant stone fruit and citrus notes—passion fruit and peach lead, followed by pineapple and zesty lime undertones. Beneath the aromatic hops lies a clean barley malt backdrop, grainy and slightly sweet, with a light fermentation character adding subtle complexity. The hop presence is prominent without harshness, suggesting a refined noble hop selection.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with soft, fruit-forward sweetness—pineapple and citrus notes mirror the aroma—before transitioning to a measured, well-integrated bitterness. The mid-palate sustains moderate body with malt sweetness balancing the noble hop character, creating textural cohesion. The bitterness builds steadily without aggression, culminating in a dry, harmonious finish.

◑ Abgang

The finish resolves decisively into a firm, lingering bitterness that remains pleasantly dry rather than astringent. Fading fruit notes and a gentle warming from the 6% ABV complete the aftertaste without excess.
