Earl Grey IPA

◎ Aussehen

Golden amber with bright clarity and excellent translucence. The head forms densely and lingers with fine Schaumkleiden that cling to the glass. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

Bergamot and lemongrass lead the nose, imparted by the Earl Grey tea additions during fermentation. A light citrus lift underlies these herbal notes, supported by restrained noble hop character. The malt base remains soft and barely perceptible, allowing the tea adjunct to dominate.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with bright citrus and floral tea notes that carry into the mid-palate with good balance. Moderate bitterness from the 60 IBU sits comfortably within the frame, neither aggressive nor subdued. The malt sweetness is restrained and clean, allowing the herbal character space to develop.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and gently lingering, with bergamot and a soft bittering edge that gradually fade. A light mineral quality persists in the aftertaste.
