◎ Aussehen

Pale straw gold with pronounced haze from suspended yeast and grain proteins. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine lacing as the beer settles. Bright carbonation rises steadily, maintaining a creamy collar throughout.

◌ Aroma

Citrus and tropical fruit dominate the nose, with bright Citra lending grapefruit zest and resinous pine. Motueka and Wakatu add layers of passionfruit and subtle white stone fruit. Beneath lies a soft grain bed of oats and wheat, contributing a gentle cereal sweetness without asserting itself.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with a light, refreshing citrus entry that evolves into tropical fruit — mango and guava notes build smoothly across the mid-palate. The oat and wheat base provides creamy texture and a subtle breadiness that anchors the hops without heaviness. Bitterness is restrained at 26 IBU, allowing fruit expression to remain foremost while providing gentle balance.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and dry, with citrus notes lingering briefly before fading into a soft, grainy sweetness. Refreshment dominates the aftertaste, inviting another sip.
