Relax

◎ Aussehen

Relax pours a straw-gold hue with substantial cloudiness, characteristic of the New England IPA style. The turbidity stems from both the flaked oats in the grain bill and the yeast in suspension, creating an opaque, inviting appearance. A modest white head forms and dissipates gradually, leaving light lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe stone and tropical fruit notes—mango, pineapple, tangerine, and grapefruit dominate, courtesy of the Citra, Amarillo, and Simcoe hops. Beneath the fruit sits a subtle pine resin thread, grounding the profile without asserting itself. The aromatic impression remains clean and bright, with no harsh herbal edges.

◐ Geschmack

The palate entry is soft and rounded, the flaked oats and London ale yeast contributing a pillowy mouthfeel rather than any drying grain character. Mango, tangerine, and grapefruit flavors carry through the mid-palate with juicy intensity, while bitterness remains restrained at 45 IBU—present enough to frame the hops but never harsh or astringent. The body feels full without heaviness, balanced and approachable.

◑ Abgang

The finish is smooth and juicy, trailing off with residual citrus and mango sweetness rather than any dry, resinous bite. A gentle fade leaves the palate refreshed and clean, inviting another sip.

Serviertemperatur 8–11°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Die geschwungene Form konzentriert Hopfenaromen und hält den Schaum. Unverzichtbar für aromatische Ales und IPAs, bei denen die Nase die halbe Erfahrung ist.
