The Butcher

◎ Aussehen

The Butcher presents a pale golden hue with substantial haze throughout, characteristic of the style. The dense, creamy head displays excellent retention and forms persistent lacing down the glass. Bright carbonation animates the body, creating fine bubbles that sustain the cloudiness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced tropical stone fruit and citrus notes from the Galaxy and Nelson dry hop, layered with softer floral and herbal undertones from the Mosaic whirlpool addition. A subtle resinous quality emerges beneath the fruit-forward character, balanced by clean, slightly grassy hop aromatics that avoid harshness.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is full and refreshing, with immediate tropical and citrus fruit expression that dominates the mid-palate alongside mild resinous bitterness. The 50 IBU integration remains restrained and supportive rather than aggressive, allowing the hop character to shine without overwhelming the soft malt foundation. Creamy body and smooth alcohol integration support the overall drinkability.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and drying, with lingering citrus and subtle herbal notes persisting without bitterness overstaying. The refreshing quality carries through to the aftertaste, leaving a pleasant fruit-tinged dryness.
