Competition

◎ Aussehen

Competition pours a clear, bright gold with excellent clarity. The head is stable and compact, leaving clean lines of lacing around the glass as it settles. Carbonation is evident and well-integrated, creating a lively visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is expressive and layered, leading with juicy tropical fruit—kiwi and ripe mango—alongside bright lemon zest and a subtle chewy candy sweetness. Beneath the fruit-forward character sits a dank, resinous hop base that anchors the profile with earthy, piney notes. Malt is restrained, allowing the hop character to dominate.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens clean and hoppy, with the tropical and citrus notes from the aroma translating into a juicy, snappy entry. A firm, structured bitterness emerges in the mid-palate, providing backbone without harshness, while malt remains supportive rather than prominent. The bitterness carries through cleanly to the finish.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and snappy, with lingering hop bitterness that fades briskly. No sweetness or malt character lingers; the aftertaste is clean and refreshing.
