Griffin Gold

◎ Aussehen

Griffin Gold presents a bright, pale golden hue characteristic of the style. The beer displays excellent clarity with a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. Carbonation is lively and even, creating a crisp visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with gentle malt sweetness from the Pale and Caragold base, offering soft grain notes without heaviness. Hallertau Tradition contributes subtle herbal and floral character, while Cascade and Citra add restrained citrus notes—primarily bright grapefruit zest—that emerge on the second nosing without dominating.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and lightly sweet, with the Malz providing a soft foundation that balances the hop profile. Mid-palate remains composed: gentle grapefruit bitterness from Citra mingles with herbal spice, while the low IBU (20) keeps assertiveness in check. The body is lean and refreshing, never cloying.

◑ Abgang

The finish is smooth and clean, fading gracefully with a lingering trace of herbal character and subtle citrus dryness. Aftertaste remains pleasant and brief, leaving no astringency or metallic notes.
