Lush Rat

◎ Aussehen

Lush Rat presents a hazy, luminous pale golden body with suspended particles creating a soft, diffuse appearance. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine Schaumkleiden. Carbonation is lively but restrained, supporting the overall soft mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit notes—juicy gooseberry and white grape dominate, backed by a crisp lime zest accent. Supporting these are lighter tropical fruit undertones and hints of candied sweetness from the adjunct blend. The hoppy character remains fresh and inviting rather than aggressive, with soft floral notes threading through.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and rounded, the torrified rice and oats creating a silky base that belies the heavy dry-hopping. Mid-palate develops juicy stone and citrus fruit flavors with a subtle candied sweetness balancing the herbaceous hop profile. Bitterness is restrained at 30 IBU, arriving late and finishing clean without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is zesty and bright, with lime and citrus notes lingering gently on the palate. The aftertaste remains clean and dry, inviting another sip despite the substantial hopping.
