Matilda Bay Aussie Wheat Ale

◎ Aussehen

Pours a very pale gold with a delicate, light haze that speaks to the high wheat content and natural cloudiness from fermentation. The head forms a fine layer of foam with modest retention and gentle lacing. Bright carbonation lifts the body with fine, persistent bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with zesty citrus character—fresh tangerine flesh and Seville orange dominate, supported by the Australian Eclipse hop. German noble hops contribute a soft, herbal backdrop. The wheat malz adds a subtle breadiness and soft grain sweetness, while a clean fermentation keeps fruity esters and spice in check.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is silky and vollmundig from the wheat malt, with the citrus character flowing seamlessly from nose to taste. Bitterness remains subtle and well-integrated, allowing the crisp, clean fermentation profile to shine. The finish arrives tight and refreshing, with a dry mineral quality that invites the next sip.

◑ Abgang

A clean, short to medium finish with no lingering sweetness or yeast-driven flavors. The aftertaste is refreshingly dry and slightly mineral, with a faint citrus echo.
