Skara Blonde IPA

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and a fine, persistent white head. The beer displays excellent head retention, with delicate lacing clinging to the glass as you drink. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a visual sense of freshness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes from Amarillo hops—lemon zest and grapefruit skin—layered beneath a subtle piney resin from Simcoe. Underneath runs a clean, bready malt foundation from pale and wheat malt, with a whisper of grain sweetness. The overall impression is zesty and inviting, with no phenolic or yeasty character.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and approachable, with the wheat malt contributing softness and body. Citrus and pine develop across the mid-palate, offering zesty, herbal complexity without aggression. Bitterness is moderate and well-balanced at 35 IBU, finishing dry without harshness or lingering astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and relatively short, fading into a pleasant citrus dryness. A gentle herbal echo lingers, inviting another sip.
