Crafty Fox

◎ Aussehen

Deep black to dark brown in the glass, with a density that suggests substance despite the modest alcohol level. The head is cream-coloured and persistent, settling into fine Schaumkleiden around the rim. Carbonation is gentle and well-integrated, contributing to a smooth visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with earthy, herbal hop character balanced against roasted malt—dark grain, a hint of cocoa, and subtle stone fruit notes emerge as it opens. There is warmth without sharp edges, a whisper of toast alongside the deeper roasted tones. The overall impression is restrained and inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and approachable, with dark fruit—plum and raisin—mixing with the roasted malt base. Mid-palate develops a subtle bitterness and citrus edge from the hop charge, while the double-roasted character adds depth without roughness. The beer carries full flavour across a lean alcohol frame, closing with a gentle dry character.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with roasted notes settling into a faint citrus bite. The aftertaste is clean, leaving no cloying sweetness.

Gut gekühlt servieren. Session IPAs sind am besten kalt — der niedrigere Alkohol bedeutet weniger Wärme zur Balance der Hopfen.

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