Proper DIPA

◎ Aussehen

Hazy pale gold with a soft, diffuse cloudiness throughout the body, characteristic of the style. A dense, creamy white head forms on the pour and clings persistently to the glass walls. Fine carbonation lifts through the haze, creating a dynamic, lively presentation.

◌ Aroma

Citra hops dominate the nose with bright citrus and tropical stone fruit—mango and peach layered with juicy grapefruit zest. Beneath the hop-driven fruit sits a herbal, dank earthiness that adds complexity and depth. A subtle cream from the yeast provides a smooth backdrop to the assertive aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with juicy tropical notes—pineapple and passionfruit—that transition into bright, zesty citrus. The 50 IBUs provide moderate bitterness that balances the fruity sweetness without dominating; the finish leans dry rather than harsh. Creaminess from the yeast softens the mid-palate, creating a fuller-bodied mouthfeel that belies the 8% ABV.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering citrus and subtle herbal notes fading smoothly. A whisper of dank character persists on the aftertaste, grounding the otherwise bright conclusion.
