Hawkers West Coast IPA

◎ Aussehen

Clear, pale golden-amber body with bright, fine carbonation evident throughout. A white head forms readily and holds with modest Schaumhaftung, leaving delicate lace on the glass as the beer descends.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with citrus—grapefruit peel and orange zest—layered beneath a pronounced pine-resin character. Herbal, grassy notes emerge in the background, while the malt remains intentionally lean and clean, allowing the New Zealand and American hop varieties to dominate without competing sweetness.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and bitter, with citrus brightness immediately confronted by a dry, woody hop bitterness. The mid-palate sustains this tension: bitter, piney, and herbal notes build steadily, while the lean malt backbone refuses to soften or round the edges. The bitterness is unrelenting and integral to the beer's structure.

◑ Abgang

Long and decidedly dry, with lingering bitterness that persists well beyond the swallow. The herbal-resinous character extends the aftertaste, leaving a clean, gripping final impression.

Serviertemperatur 8–11°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Die geschwungene Form konzentriert Hopfenaromen und hält den Schaum. Unverzichtbar für aromatische Ales und IPAs, bei denen die Nase die halbe Erfahrung ist.
