Holy Ghost

◎ Aussehen

Holy Ghost presents a hazy golden-amber body with pronounced cloudiness from wheat and oat additions, delivering substantial visual texture. The head rises dense and cream-colored, establishing firm Schaumhaftung that clings to the glass walls throughout the tasting. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, lending visual liveliness without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with explosive tropical fruit—guava, passionfruit, and mango—cut through with sharp grapefruit zest and dark currant undertones. Dank resinous notes emerge in the mid-range, speaking to heavy dry-hop saturation with Nelson Sauvin, Galaxy, and Citra Cryo. Beneath the aromatics sit subtle grain notes from raw wheat and oats, offering earthy ballast without dominating the hop-driven profile.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full and juicy, with tropical and citrus notes charging the palate before a building wave of herbal dankness takes hold mid-palate. The 90 IBU burden is substantial but not harsh, supported by the thick malt structure of wheat and oats that adds viscosity and subtle sweetness. Resinous bitterness persists, with a spicy, peppery quality that suggests both the Galaxy hop character and the underlying 10% ABV warmth.

◑ Abgang

The finish extends long and dry, with lingering grapefruit and currant notes fading into herbal-resinous aftertaste. Warmth from the alcohol becomes apparent late, adding weight and slightly boozy character that frames the fade without overwhelming it.
