208 Idaho's Golden Ale

◎ Aussehen

A bright golden hue dominates the glass, clear and transparent with excellent clarity. The head is modest but persistent, leaving fine lacing on the glass walls as you drink. Carbonation is visible and lively, with steady streams of small bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with restrained citrus notes—hints of lemon and grapefruit zest—underpinned by a clean, soft malt character. Noble hop aromatics are delicate and well-integrated, neither assertive nor hidden. There is an overall crispness to the bouquet, with no phenolic or yeast-derived character.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and light, with a gentle sweet-malt foundation that supports the restrained hop bitterness. The mid-palate stays clean and dry, allowing citrus and grain flavors to speak without heaviness. Bitterness is low and measured at 16 IBU, never aggressive, finishing with a dry, slightly herbaceous edge.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short to medium and notably clean, with no lingering malt sweetness or harsh aftertaste. A faint herbal dryness persists on the palate, leaving you refreshed and ready for the next sip.
