Beyond the Firs

◎ Aussehen

Beyond the Firs presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting character. The head shows solid retention with fine white foam that leaves delicate lacing on the glass as you drink, indicating good protein structure from the oat adjunct.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tangerine and pink grapefruit notes from the Citra and Centennial whirlpool additions, layered with a subtle herbaceous pine character from the Idaho 7 and Simcoe dry hop. Beneath the citrus fruit sits a clean, lean malt backbone that stays in the background, allowing the hops to command attention.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with crisp citrus flavors that echo the aroma, followed by a lean, slightly grainy malt body that the oats keep dry and clean. The bitterness arrives mid-palate with gentle piney edges and resolves to a refreshing, moderately assertive finish that never turns harsh or astringent.

◑ Abgang

The finish is moderately long with lingering grapefruit and pine notes that fade gradually into a dry, refreshing aftertaste. There is no residual sweetness, leaving the palate clean and ready for the next sip.
