Shenron

◎ Aussehen

Shenron presents a pale golden hue with pronounced haze throughout the body, characteristic of the style. A generous, creamy head forms on the pour and maintains moderate retention, with fine Schaumhaftung clinging to the glass walls. The cloudiness stems from the suspended yeast and proteins typical of dry-hopped hazy IPAs, creating an inviting, soft visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit notes—mango, passionfruit, and pineapple—layered beneath subtle grape aromatics that add complexity. Noble hop character dominates, supported by a soft, clean Malz base that does not intrude. The double dry-hop treatment shines through with juicy, resinous top notes that invite immediate tasting.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens soft and juicy, with the tropical fruit character transitioning smoothly into a balanced bitterness that integrates rather than dominates at 43 IBU. Mid-palate reveals subtle citrus complexity and a creamy mouthfeel that softens the hop bite. The finish dries gradually, allowing the fruity and hoppy elements to fade in harmony without astringency.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is clean and moderately dry, with lingering fruit notes fading into a gentle hoppy warmth. Refreshment emerges naturally at the conclusion, with no harsh residue or excessive sweetness.
