Blood Orange Broken Heels

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden-yellow with a hazy, opaque body characteristic of the style. The head is dense and persistent, displaying fine foam structure with good retention and visible lacing down the glass. The cloudiness derives from yeast suspension, giving the beer a luminous, inviting appearance.

◌ Aroma

Bright blood orange and sweet orange esters dominate the nose, supported by citrus-forward hop notes from Citra and Mosaic. A subtle berry undertone—reminiscent of raspberry—weaves through the citrus base. The overall impression is juicy and fruit-forward, with minimal traditional malt character.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with assertive sweet orange and stone fruit character, followed by a moderately bitter, clean mid-palate driven by noble hop resins. The blood orange adjunct adds natural sweetness without cloying; the berry notes provide subtle complexity. At 7% ABV and 50 IBU, the beer achieves balance between fruit sweetness and dry hop finish.

◑ Abgang

Medium-length, dry finish with lingering citrus and a hint of berry fade. The creamy body softens the hop bite, leaving a refreshing, mineral-tinged aftertaste.
