Backstrand

◎ Aussehen

Backstrand presents a clear, golden straw hue that catches light with transparency and brightness. The head forms with modest persistence, laying down a fine lace along the glass as it settles. Carbonation appears well-integrated, delivering a gentle effervescence appropriate to the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with the distinctive character of Strata and Cascade hops—bright citrus and stone fruit notes mingle with a dank, resinous undertone that grounds the bouquet. Beneath the hop-forward aromatics sits a clean, neutral malt foundation with subtle hints of wheat grain. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no off-notes or oxidation.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and clean, allowing the hop character to take center stage without aggressive bitterness. The palate remains light-bodied, with the wheat and Vienna malts providing a soft, barely-sweet canvas that lets the herbal and resiny hop flavors develop fully. Bitterness arrives moderate and measured, contributing structure without dominating the drinking experience.

◑ Abgang

The finish dries cleanly with lingering resinous and herbal notes from the hops. Aftertaste remains bright and refreshing, inviting another sip without any harsh or lingering heaviness.
