Looking for Summer

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden hue suffused with fine haze, characteristic of the New England IPA style. The cloudiness arises from yeast and hop particles held in suspension, creating a soft, luminous quality. A modest white head settles quickly but leaves intermittent lacing down the glass as carbonation gently works through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit from Mosaic and Citra hops—hints of grapefruit zest, peach, and subtle mango. A soft, grainy Malz character forms the base, neither assertive nor withdrawn. No aggressive hop bite dominates; instead, the aromatic profile remains balanced and inviting, with a gentle herbal undertone.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens juicy and refreshing, with tropical fruit flavors—mango, passionfruit, and tangerine—coming through immediately. A moderate, clean bitterness (50 IBU) arrives mid-palate without harshness, providing structure and definition. The low alcohol (6%) keeps the body lithe and sessionable, while a subtle creaminess rounds the mouthfeel without heaviness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and dry, with citrus oils lingering briefly on the palate. The aftertaste fades cleanly without astringency or cloying sweetness, leaving only a refreshing sense of completion.
