Sankt Hans

◎ Aussehen

Sankt Hans presents a clear, burnished amber hue with excellent clarity. The head forms a tight, persistent foam with strong adhesion to the glass, indicating proper carbonation and malt character. The color suggests an extended mash of caramel and Vienna malts, with the bright light transmitting cleanly through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus—blood orange and lemon zest—layered over subtle oak notes from the puncheon conditioning. Beneath these bright notes sits a softer foundation of tea-like tannins and light caramel maltiness. The overall impression is refreshing and refined, with no rough edges or solvent notes.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with juicy sweetness and citrus bite, immediately followed by a clean, biting tartness that cuts through the mid-palate. Oak influence is present but restrained, providing structure without dominating. The finish is dry and crisp, with a gentle hop bitterness (28 IBU) that complements rather than challenges the malt backbone.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium in length, clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus notes and a subtle tea-like dryness. The aftertaste leaves a pleasant, malty warmth without cloying sweetness.
