Blonde Witch

◎ Aussehen

Pours a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a dense, cream-colored head that displays strong lacing as it recedes. The carbonation is gentle and persistent, creating fine bubbles that rise steadily through the glass. The overall visual presentation is inviting and well-defined, characteristic of a well-crafted ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean, fruity esters balanced against sweet Maris Otter and pale ale malz notes. Citrus character emerges from the Centennial and Progress hops, offering a restrained floral and herbal backdrop without overwhelming the composition. There is a subtle wheaten softness underlying the overall bouquet.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full-bodied and malty, with pronounced stone fruit and citrus flavors coating the palate. Mid-palate reveals layers of gentle sweetness from the malz bill, while the Centennial and Progress hops provide a crisp, zesty lift that prevents cloying. Bitterness is restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the fruit and malt interplay to dominate.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with citrus notes lingering pleasantly into the aftertaste. A refreshing quality emerges, leaving the palate cleansed and inviting another sip.
