Mad Tom

◎ Aussehen

Mad Tom presents a bright burnt orange hue, clear and well-defined, with moderate carbonation evident throughout. The head forms with good initial retention, gradually settling to a thin collar with fine Schaumkleiden around the glass. The body shows good translucency without haze or sediment.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus and stone fruit notes, particularly grapefruit and peach, followed immediately by resinous pine and Chinook hop character. Beneath the aromatic hop profile, caramel and toasted biscuit malt emerge softly, grounding the composition without obscuring the herbal and woody hop complexity that dominates.

◐ Geschmack

Entry arrives with brisk citrus and stone fruit sweetness that quickly yields to a firm, resinous bitterness driven by Chinook and Centennial hops. The mid-palate reveals a solid malt foundation of caramel and biscuit that provides ballast and prevents harshness, while dry, piney hop flavors build steadily. Bitterness persists without astringency, maintaining mineral and herbal notes throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is bone-dry and firmly bitter, with lingering citrus and resinous hop character that extends well into the aftertaste. Slight warmth from the 6.4% ABV appears late, without overshadowing the hop-driven conclusion.

Serviertemperatur 8–11°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Die geschwungene Form konzentriert Hopfenaromen und hält den Schaum. Unverzichtbar für aromatische Ales und IPAs, bei denen die Nase die halbe Erfahrung ist.
