Blond 11

◎ Aussehen

Blond 11 presents a pale golden hue with a light straw tint, true to its 7 SRM specification. The unfiltered character lends a subtle haze that catches the light softly. A modest white head forms and clings to the glass with moderate persistence, leaving fine traces of lacing down the sides.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—grapefruit and mandarin lead, supported by a clean herbal and floral backdrop. Kazbek hops contribute structure, while Summit and Cascade offer a crisp, fresh quality that feels inviting rather than assertive. A light malt foundation sits beneath, providing gentle sweetness without dominance.

◐ Geschmack

The palate delivers straightforward citrus character, with orange and grapefruit developing steadily from the first sip. Moderate bitterness at 29 IBU integrates smoothly, creating balance rather than intensity. The body remains light and crisp, allowing the hop-driven flavours to shine while a restrained malt sweetness anchors the profile without heaviness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and refreshing, with citrus notes fading cleanly into a subtle herbaceous aftertaste. No lingering astringency or roughness; instead, a gentle hop character persists briefly before dissipating.
