Cavana IPA

◎ Aussehen

Dark gold with pronounced haze from suspended yeast and fine particles, creating a softly diffused appearance characteristic of fresh, unfiltered brewery ales. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with visible lacing, demonstrating solid foam stability and carbonation drive. The cloudiness speaks to freshness and on-site conditioning.

◌ Aroma

The Simcoe hop variety dominates with a compelling tropical fruit presence—ripe mango and stone fruit notes—layered over woody pine resin and a subtle citrus undertone. The background malt is restrained and clean, allowing the hop character to remain the focal point without interference. Fresh herbal and resinous notes suggest minimal oxidation and peak condition.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is fruit-forward and crisp, with the tropical Simcoe character delivering immediate sweetness before the bitter backbone asserts itself. Mid-palate develops a firm, resinous bitterness at 60 IBU that anchors the fruit rather than overwhelming it, while a touch of citrus peel dryness adds complexity. The body remains light and clean despite the assertive bittering, finishing with lingering pine and herbal notes.

◑ Abgang

The bitter finish extends with grace, tapering gradually rather than abruptly. Pine resin and a faint citrus dryness linger on the palate, inviting another sip without fatigue.

Serviertemperatur 8–11°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Die geschwungene Form konzentriert Hopfenaromen und hält den Schaum. Unverzichtbar für aromatische Ales und IPAs, bei denen die Nase die halbe Erfahrung ist.
