Op & Top

◎ Aussehen

Op & Top presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with deliberate Schaumkleiden. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a visual impression of freshness and snap. Light transmission reveals the beer's clean, transparent character without any haze or sediment.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright, herbaceous hop character—citrus pith and green herbal notes dominate—while a subtle malty foundation provides textural balance without dominating. Light floral and slightly spicy undertones emerge as the beer warms, suggesting noble hop varieties used with restraint. Yeast-derived esters remain in the background, allowing the hop profile to command attention.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters crisp and refreshing, with a clean malty sweetness that immediately gives way to measured hop bitterness—balanced rather than aggressive. Mid-palate holds a light, dry body with bright citrus and herbal hop flavours that persist without overwhelming. The finish is dry and clean, with lingering noble hop bitterness that remains pleasant and thirst-quenching rather than harsh.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste fades gradually with a dry, gently bitter hop impression that invites the next sip. No cloying sweetness or astringency remains—the beer leaves the palate crisp and refreshed.
