Winter Ale

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden hue with bright clarity and a fine white head that holds steady along the glass walls. The carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, lending a crisp visual presence. Light catches the beer cleanly, suggesting a beer of fresh character and careful handling.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with citrus—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—layered over a background of tropical stone fruit, particularly mango. Beneath these sits a restrained malt sweetness that doesn't overwhelm; the hop character dominates without aggression. A hint of white pepper or herbal green tea emerges on further inspection, keeping the profile fresh and balanced.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters clean and bright, with immediate bitter hop bite balanced by a light, grainy malt foundation. Mid-palate reveals those tropical notes—mango and citrus—that promise without forcing, while the bitterness (60 IBU) settles into a measured, lingering dryness. The body remains lean and refreshing, never heavy, allowing the hop and malt dialogue to remain audible throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish extends cleanly into a persistent but not aggressive bitterness, with citrus notes fading slowly into a dry, slightly mineral aftertaste. At 5.5% ABV, the alcohol remains undetectable, leaving only the hop and malt signature.
