Dikkenek Citra Hop

◎ Aussehen

Straw-blonde in color with bright, lively clarity. A generous head of fine white foam rises above the glass and persists with excellent retention, leaving delicate lacing on the walls as the beer is consumed. The carbonation is crisp and visible, contributing to the beer's overall vivacity.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced citrus notes—orange zest and lime peel—layered over ripe tropical fruit, particularly mango and blackcurrant. The dry-hop character adds an exotic, resinous freshness that cuts through the fruity foundation without overwhelming it. A subtle, supporting malt base allows the hop aromatics to remain the dominant voice.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with a crisp, citrus-forward bitterness that is substantial but clean, sitting comfortably in the mid-range. The body carries tropical and fruity notes from the dry-hop treatment through the middle, balanced by a light, measured malt sweetness. The bitterness persists without harshness, providing structure and dryness without demanding prolonged attention.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and refreshing, with the bitterness resolving cleanly rather than lingering heavily on the palate. A subtle warmth from the 6.7% ABV emerges late, adding gentle complexity without alcohol heat.

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.
