Southville Hop

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and a fine, persistent white head that builds substantial lacing on the glass. The carbonation is crisp and visible, creating a lively visual presentation typical of well-conditioned West Coast IPAs.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit—layered over tropical fruit character reminiscent of peach and passionfruit. Beneath the hop-forward aromatics sits a solid backbone of pale Malz, contributing subtle biscuit and grain undertones that prevent the profile from becoming one-dimensional.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with bright citrus and stone fruit flavours that drive the mid-palate experience, supported by the substantial Malz charge that provides body and a gentle sweetness. Bitterness arrives cleanly at 60 IBU—assertive but not harsh—and integrates well with the malt backbone rather than dominating the finish.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and moderately lengthy, with hop bitterness gradually receding to reveal lingering citrus and subtle grain notes. A gentle warmth from the 6.5% ABV becomes apparent in the aftertaste without any alcohol burn.
