New Hop State of Mind

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine, persistent carbonation. The head forms quickly and displays firm lacing that clings to the glass through the drink. Light catches the beer with a bright, crystalline quality typical of cold IPAs.

◌ Aroma

Citrus and stone fruit dominate the nose, with pronounced grapefruit and lime notes from the Citra and Cascade hops leading the charge. Ripe peach and apricot from Nectaron and Dolcita sit beneath, while a subtle herbal and mineral backbone keeps the profile grounded. The aromatic intensity is restrained rather than aggressive, inviting repeated sniffs.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with bright citrus and stone fruit that mirror the aroma, delivering immediate freshness without harshness. Mid-palate develops a lean, crisp malt foundation that supports the hop character without sweetness. Bitterness arrives as a clean, measured 55 IBU that dries the finish rather than dominates it, leaving the fruit flavours in the foreground.

◑ Abgang

Clean and dry with a sustained citrus edge that gradually fades over several seconds. The aftertaste remains refreshing without astringency, leaving a light, appetising sensation.
