Destihl Vertex IPA

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting presence. The head forms with good density and maintains solid lacing down the glass, indicating proper carbonation and malt structure. A hallmark of the Midwest IPA aesthetic—clean and approachable without haziness.

◌ Aroma

A vibrant citrus-forward nose leads, with distinct notes of orange zest and grapefruit that speak to thoughtful hop selection. Beneath lies a soft, bready malz character that grounds the aromatic profile without overwhelming. Subtle floral and tropical undertones round out the bouquet, creating an inviting complexity.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with balanced maltiness and immediate hop presence, striking the intended equilibrium between sweetness and bitterness. The 76 IBU carries cleanly through without astringency, supported by a solid malt backbone that provides bread-like character and subtle caramel notes. Mid-palate maintains hop definition while preserving drinkability; the finish dries steadily.

◑ Abgang

A crisp, moderately dry finish with lingering hop bitterness that fades gracefully. The aftertaste echoes orange and light caramel, leaving a refreshing sensation without excessive astringency.

Gut gekühlt servieren. Session IPAs sind am besten kalt — der niedrigere Alkohol bedeutet weniger Wärme zur Balance der Hopfen.

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