Smoking Gull

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting presence in the glass. A creamy white head forms readily and maintains fine lacing along the sides as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is lively and visible, creating a dynamic and refreshing visual character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit notes—mango and pineapple—followed by subtle citrus undertones from the Citra and Mosaic hops. A grassy, herbal edge provides balance, while the soft malt base contributes gentle, understated notes without overwhelming the hop-forward bouquet.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters soft and approachable, with tropical and citrus flavors taking center stage. A water cracker-like grain quality and subtle hop bitterness build through the mid-palate, creating structure without harshness. The finish remains crisp and clean, with the malt providing a gentle sweetness that balances the moderate 35 IBU bitterness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering citrus and grassy notes fading gradually. A subtle waxy, hop-derived dryness persists without becoming astringent.
