Soul Men

◎ Aussehen

Soul Men presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, sustained head. The carbonation is lively, producing fine bubbles that cling persistently to the glass walls, leaving distinct lacing with each sip.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus notes—primarily grapefruit and orange zest—layered with pronounced pine and resinous Edelhopfen character. Mosaic contributes a subtle floral undertone, while the Cryo Chinook adds a punchy, concentrated hop intensity that fills the glass without becoming harsh or overwhelming.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and dry with immediate citrus impact followed by a building, assertive bitterness that never turns astringent. The mid-palate sustains the hop-forward character—resinous and piney—with minimal malt sweetness to provide balance. The finish is dry and clean, allowing the layered hop profile to linger without cloying.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is persistently bitter and piney, with traces of citrus zest that fade gradually. The dry quality persists to the end, characteristic of a well-crafted West Coast IPA.
