Rudoch

◎ Aussehen

Rudoch presents a warm amber hue with visible suspended yeast, characteristic of its unfiltered, unpasteurized nature. The head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass, indicating good protein and hop content. Carbonation is lively, evident in the steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the liquid.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus—grapefruit and orange zest predominate—layered over a resinous, herbal backbone from American hop varieties. A subtle malt sweetness emerges beneath, offering gentle caramel notes without overwhelming the hop-driven character. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no yeasty or solvent notes.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and hoppy, with citrus flavors developing immediately across the palate. Mid-palate brings a pronounced bitterness (48 IBU) balanced by a light malt foundation, with caramel and malty sweetness providing structure without richness. The finish remains hop-forward and dry, with lingering resinous and bitter notes.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and medium in length, with hop bitterness and subtle resin persisting on the palate. Residual malty character fades gracefully, leaving a refreshing, crisp aftertaste.
