Citra Ale

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with good retention. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a lively visual presence without excessive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by fresh citrus and stone fruit notes from the Citra hop, with prominent grapefruit and peach character. Beneath the hop aromatics, soft malt undertones from the Munich and Vienna malts provide a warm, slightly sweet backdrop that prevents the beer from becoming one-dimensional.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with crisp, fruity flavors that echo the aroma—ripe citrus and peach lead the way. A pleasant, gentle bitterness settles mid-palate (25 IBU provides balance rather than assertiveness), while hints of caramel and wheat add subtle complexity and structure without overwhelming the clean, refreshing character of the beer.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and crisp, with the citrus notes lingering briefly before fading to a dry, slightly bitter aftertaste. The malt sweetness retreats gracefully, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
