High Hopes

◎ Aussehen

High Hopes presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. A fine white head forms readily and clings to the glass with good retention, leaving delicate lacing on each sip. The carbonation is crisp and well-integrated, creating a lively visual presence throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus character—ripe grapefruit and fresh orange peel dominate, supported by piney, resinous undertones from the Simcoe and Centennial additions. A subtle mango note emerges in the mid-range, while the pale and crystal malts contribute a delicate, lean sweetness that frames the bright hop profile without overwhelming it.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and refreshing, with balanced citrus flavors transitioning smoothly across the palate. The lean malt foundation allows the Mosaic, Citra, and Chinook hops to shine, delivering layers of orange peel and a hint of tropical fruit. Bitterness builds steadily toward the finish, arriving as resinous and moderately assertive without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium in length, tapering with a lingering resinous bitterness and a clean, drying sensation. Aftertaste remains grapefruit-driven with a subtle woody edge, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
