Jackie O's Hop Ryot

◎ Aussehen

Deep golden to light amber hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. A dense, creamy head forms with strong retention and fine lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is brisk and visible throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by Simcoe's distinctive sticky citrus character—ripe orange and grapefruit pith with underlying piney, herbal notes. The rye malt foundation adds a subtle peppery warmth and light spice that frames the hop profile without overshadowing it. Clean fermentation allows the ingredients to shine without yeast-derived esters.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with bright citrus and resinous pine, followed by a pronounced earthy and herbal mid-palate where rye's peppery character adds textural grip and complexity. Bitterness builds steadily to 60 IBU—moderately sharp but never harsh—and is balanced by subtle breadiness and low-to-moderate malt sweetness. The finish is notably dry, with a grainy, spicy dankness that lingers.

◑ Abgang

A dry, lingering aftertaste with persistent resinous pine and earthy rye spice. The bitterness gradually fades while peppery notes remain on the palate.
