Billy the Mid

◎ Aussehen

Billy the Mid presents a pale gold hue with excellent clarity and a dense white head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. The carbonation is bright and persistent, creating a lively visual impression that belies the modest alcohol content. The foam structure suggests proper conditioning and suggests good malt backbone.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a vibrant hop bouquet dominated by citrus and stone fruit notes—orange zest and passionfruit leap forward immediately. Pine and herbal undertones add complexity beneath the fruit, while a subtle caramel sweetness from the New Zealand malts grounds the composition. The overall impression is lifted and aromatic without being aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

Entry brings hop-driven citrus character with a firm but not harsh bitterness that integrates seamlessly with the caramel malt base. The mid-palate maintains this balance, with tropical fruit esters complementing the restrained sweetness of the malts. The finish turns decisively dry and crisp, with lingering hop bitterness and a clean, mineral edge that encourages another sip.

◑ Abgang

The finish is notably clean and extended, with the dryness persisting through the aftertaste without fatigue. Residual hop bitterness and a faint pine note linger pleasantly, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next drink.
