Gone Native

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with light amber undertones, characteristic of the 8 SRM specification. The beer presents a bright, slightly hazy appearance from the oat and wheat adjuncts in the mash, with a fine white head that maintains good retention and lacing. Carbonation is visible and lively throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The hop bill immediately presents a distinctive tropical bouquet: Sabro delivers coconut and tangerine with a subtle cedar undertone, while Nectaron amplifies stone fruit and exotic fruit character. Idaho 7 contributes apricot and a dry black tea note. The double dry-hopping technique reinforces these hop-driven aromatics without the presence of Citra or Mosaic that defines the brewery's usual range.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with a wave of tropical and stone fruit character—peach and apricot lead, followed by subtle coconut and tangerine complexity. The creamy mouthfeel from oats and wheat provides body and roundness, while a balanced hop bitterness (estimated 50 IBU range) arrives mid-palate without overwhelming. Hop bitterness and earthy undertones linger into the swallow, maintaining clean definition.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium in length, with fading tropical hop character and a gentle earthy, herbal dryness. A soft bitterness persists cleanly without astringency, allowing the tropical and stone fruit notes to resonate briefly before a refreshing dry conclusion.

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.
