Reifeprüfung

◎ Aussehen

Reifeprüfung presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. The head forms dense and white, clinging to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with distinctive white wine-like fruit notes from the Hallertauer Blanc hops, offering citrus and stone fruit character. Beneath this sits a restrained but clean noble-hop signature with a subtle herbal minerality. The malt base remains purposefully in the background, allowing the hop profile to take center stage.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and clean, with an immediate fruity-bitter balance that unfolds across the palate. Mid-palate reveals the characteristic snap of Hallertauer Blanc's noble bitterness, layered with subtle stone fruit and citrus notes. The finish moves toward a dry, hoppy conclusion with a refined bittering quality that neither dominates nor fades prematurely.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with the bitterness tapering into a clean, minerally aftertaste. A light malty sweetness surfaces briefly before the elegant hop bitterness reasserts itself, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
