◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and lively carbonation. The head forms with good retention, building a white foam that clings to the glass as you drink, leaving distinct lacing on the walls.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe stone fruit—apricot and peach—that draws you in with an inviting sweetness. This fruity foundation quickly yields to bright citrus and fresh herbal notes from the Edelhopfen charge, setting up the characteristic West Coast tension between fruit-forward allure and assertive hop character.

◐ Geschmack

The palate strikes immediately with a wave of citrus and stone fruit on the attack, then transitions to a pronounced pine and resinous bitterness that commands the mid-palate. The 60 IBU threshold is felt clearly here, though the underlying fruitiness prevents the beer from becoming one-dimensional; a subtle drying effect emerges as the hops assert themselves.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and lingering, dominated by pine needles and a resinous edge that clings to the palate. Bitterness persists throughout the aftertaste, gradually fading to leave only a faint echo of citrus and hop character.
