Kook

◎ Aussehen

Kook presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, translucent quality befitting its light malt bill. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is crisp and evident throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced ripe tropical fruit notes—mango and passion fruit emerge first, followed by juicy grapefruit and bright citrus zest. Chinook leads the hop expression, supported by Amarillo and El Dorado, creating a layered bouquet that favors stone fruit and candied citrus over herbaceous or piney qualities. The Malz foundation remains subtle and neutral, allowing the aromatic hops to command attention.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with clean, juicy citrus and pineapple notes that mirror the aromatic profile. Mid-palate delivers a measured bitterness of 80 IBU—present and structured but not aggressive—with underlying notes of grapefruit pith and a subtle stone-fruit sweetness. The malt stays pale and restrained throughout, contributing only a whisper of sweetness that prevents the bitterness from dominating.

◑ Abgang

The finish is bone dry with a lingering, grapefruit-driven bitterness that fades cleanly. No residual sweetness or cloying character—the beer ends crisp and thirst-quenching.

Serviertemperatur 8–11°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

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