First Drop

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with a soft, lively haze throughout the glass. A light, fine head forms at the pour and recedes to a thin collar, leaving delicate traces of lacing on the glass. The cloudiness speaks to the generous dry-hop charge and yeast suspension, while bright carbonation rises steadily through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus—grapefruit zest and orange peel—backed by leafy, herbal Edelhopfen character. A tropical undercurrent of pineapple and stone fruit emerges on closer inspection, while a soft, clean Malz foundation anchors the blend without dominating. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no harsh alcohol burn despite the four-hop layering.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is light and direct: crisp citrus flavors arrive immediately, then unfold into a juicy tropical middle with hints of pineapple and apricot. Bitterness arrives gently at mid-palate, balancing the fruit without aggression—31 IBU registers as measured and refined. The Malz profile remains understated, lending structure without sweetness, and carbonation drives the flavors forward with refreshing snap.

◑ Abgang

A dry, clean exit with lingering citrus notes fading into subtle herbal grassiness. The finish is short to medium, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip rather than clinging.
