White Waves

◎ Aussehen

White Waves presents a pale golden hue with a slight haze characteristic of its wheat beer foundation. The head is generous and persistent, with fine bubbles that maintain good adhesion to the glass. Carbonation is brisk and visible, creating a lively presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with intense citrus notes from the dry hop charge of Dr Rudi, Rakau and Cascade, layered beneath with a distinct piney backbone. Coriander and bitter orange peel emerge as supporting aromatics, adding spicy complexity without overshadowing the hop-forward character. Subtle wheat and grain notes provide a gentle foundation.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and hoppy, with citrus flavours immediately engaging the palate. The mid-palate develops a pleasant interplay between the wheat base and spice from coriander, while the dry hopping persists with piney, citric character. A measured bitterness of 45 IBU arrives gradually, held in balance by the wheat's softness and subtle orange peel dryness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with the hop bitterness and citric notes extending cleanly. A faint spice warmth from coriander and orange peel rounds out the aftertaste.
