Ski The East IPA

◎ Aussehen

The beer presents a soft orange-gold haze, turbid throughout with suspended yeast and hop matter creating a deliberately cloudy matrix. A dense, creamy head forms and clings to the glass with good retention. Fine carbonation rises steadily, contributing to the silky visual impression.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—lemon zest and orange peel—layered over a resinous pine backbone. Tropical fruit notes emerge in the mid-range, suggesting passionfruit and stone fruit, while the underlying Malz contributes a soft, grainy sweetness that anchors the hop-driven profile. No sharp alcohol detection.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and creamy, with the orange and citrus flavors establishing themselves immediately across the palate. The mid-palate balances tropical and piney hop character against a light Malz foundation; bitterness sits at a moderate, integrated level (50 IBU) that refreshes without dominating. Body remains light to medium, with a silky mouthfeel sustained by the haze.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering citrus and pine notes fading over a few seconds. A light herbal bitterness persists without harshness.
