Dancing Gnome Lustra

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden hue with pronounced haze from suspension through the body, typical of the style's intentional cloudiness. The head is white and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine lacework that slowly fades. Carbonation is brisk and visible, creating a soft, pillowy foam that frames each sip.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—candied orange peel and grapefruit zest—supported by floral hop notes that lean toward jasmine and dried flowers. A subtle tropical undertone emerges: mango and passion fruit in the background. Malt contributes a soft, biscuity sweetness that anchors the composition without dominating.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens clean and refreshing, with tropical stone fruit and citrus flavors building immediately. The 40 IBU bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, providing structure without harshness or astringency. Mid-palate remains light and smooth, allowing the hop character to remain forward while malt sweetness stays restrained and balanced.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and relatively dry, with lingering citrus notes that fade gradually over several minutes. A subtle hoppy dryness persists without becoming overly bitter or tannic.
