Boomerang

◎ Aussehen

Boomerang presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. The carbonation is lively but restrained, appropriate for a lager of this strength. Light catches the beer with a bright, inviting sheen typical of well-crafted pale strong lagers.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with tropical stone fruit and passionfruit from Victoria Secret hops, supported by gooseberry and herbal elderflower notes that evolve as the beer warms. Beneath sits a subtle caramel-tinged Malz foundation, grounded yet unobtrusive. The dry-hop addition in the lagering tank amplifies the hop character without obscuring the clean, refined lager profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters full and malty, with a soft biscuit sweetness that anchors the beer's 16.8 °P gravity without cloying. Tropical fruit and gooseberry notes build through the mid-palate, interlaced with a dry, pithy bitterness that peaks at 45 IBU—pronounced but balanced. The finish turns progressively drier, with Mosaic hop character adding a spicy, herbal complexity that prevents the beer from settling into mere sweetness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and increasingly dry, with lingering bitterness and a subtle warming from the 7.5% ABV. Noble Edelhopfen character persists in the aftertaste, leaving a clean, slightly grainy residue on the palate that invites another sip.
