Stef

◎ Aussehen

Stef presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, luminous transparency. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass in fine, persistent lacing that marks each sip. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, lending the beer a vibrant, appetizing presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and pine from Simcoe and Centennial hops, layered with subtle dank herbal notes from Ekuanot. Diamond yeast fermentation contributes clean, delicate fruity esters—stone fruit and light tropical notes—without any yeast-derived cloudiness. The malt foundation remains soft and recessive, allowing the hop character to dominate.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and crisp, with a soft, approachable bitterness that unfolds gradually rather than assertively. Mid-palate showcases the fruity, hoppy complexity: a blend of citrus zest, subtle tropical notes, and dry herbal bite. The malt provides a light, barely-sweet foundation that never overwhelms, maintaining excellent drinkability throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and clean, with lingering hoppy bitterness that fades to a pleasant herbal dryness. No harsh edges or excessive astringency—instead, a refined bitterness that invites the next sip.
