Hop & Hibiscus

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with distinct lacing. The carbonation is crisp and lively, evident in the steady stream of bubbles rising through the bright body. Light transmission reveals the beer's translucent character without any haze.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced hibiscus florals layered seamlessly over bright citrus notes—grapefruit, orange zest, and lime. Supporting aromatics of floral hop compounds add complexity without overshadowing the distinctive hibiscus character. A subtle oat and rye grain presence provides a soft, malty undertone that balances the forward-facing hop expression.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with the oat and rye delivering a velvety mouthfeel that prevents the 8.5% ABV from becoming apparent. Mid-palate unfolds with floral and citrus flavors working in tandem—hibiscus provides a delicate, slightly tart sweetness while the hops contribute resinous, zesty notes. The 50 IBU bitterness integrates cleanly, finishing the palate without harsh edges or astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and refreshing, with lingering floral and citrus notes fading gracefully. Residual sweetness from the hibiscus and grains departs cleanly, leaving a gentle bittersweet character that invites another sip.
