◎ Aussehen

Pale golden with excellent clarity and bright translucence. A dense white head forms with good retention and fine Schaumkleiden down the glass. Carbonation is assertive and well-integrated, creating steady streams of small bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Sharp, pithy grapefruit dominates the nose, cutting and herbaceous. Pine resin emerges in the background, supported by Simcoe's characteristic tropical-citrus notes. Pale ale malt provides a subtle, clean foundation without sweetness, allowing the hop aromatics to command the profile.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and resinous, with bitter grapefruit zest developing immediately across the palate. Mid-palate reveals layered hop complexity—citrus, pine, and herbal grassiness from the double dry-hop charge—balanced against a lean malt body. The 60 IBU bitterness is pronounced and sustained, finishing dry without astringency.

◑ Abgang

Long, dry finish with lingering bitterness and herbal-citrus notes that persist cleanly. No cloying sweetness or warm alcohol heat.
