Outcast Nova

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden-yellow hue with pronounced turbidity from suspended yeast and hop matter, characteristic of the Hazy IPA style. A dense, creamy white head forms on the pour and maintains good lacing down the glass. Fine carbonation persists throughout, creating a soft, pillowy mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit notes from the noble hops, backed by a subtle peachy and apricot character. Gentle resinous undertones emerge alongside a soft, biscuity Malz backbone that does not dominate. Yeast-derived fruitiness adds roundness without contributing phenolic or solvent-like qualities.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with juicy citrus and melon flavors that immediately engage the taste receptors, followed by a smooth, medium body that carries weight without heaviness. Moderate bitterness—aligned with the stated 50 IBU—arrives mid-palate and resolves cleanly, never harsh or astringent. The Malz sweetness remains restrained, allowing hop expression to remain the focal point.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately long, with lingering citrus oils and a gentle herbal resin note that fades without bitterness overstay. No astringency or cloying sweetness remains.
