APA4

◎ Aussehen

APA4 presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating steady streams of bubbles that contribute to strong head retention and an inviting visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by intense citrus notes, with orange leading the way and supported by undertones of grapefruit and loquat. Behind the bright hop character, subtle Malz backbone provides just enough sweetness to balance the aromatic intensity without dominating the profile. Mosaic and Ekuanot dry hopping deliver a clean, herbal complexity that adds depth to the citrus foundation.

◐ Geschmack

On the palate, orange flavour takes centre stage with hints of loquat and grapefruit following close behind, creating a multidimensional citrus experience. The body is silky and full without heaviness, allowing the hop bitterness—measured at 60 IBU—to assert itself gradually and build toward a clean, crisp middle. The Malz contribution remains restrained, acting as a foundation rather than a focal point.

◑ Abgang

The finish is bitter, refreshing and flavourful, with a pleasant orange aftertaste that persists without becoming harsh or fatiguing. The dryness and crispness create an inviting closure that encourages another sip.
