Aestival

◎ Aussehen

Pale gold with bright clarity and lively carbonation throughout. The head builds readily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. The visual presence is clean and inviting, befitting a well-crafted pale ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads immediately with tropical stone fruit—ripe pineapple and mango dominate, backed by subtle guava and citrus notes. The seven-hop blend (Citra, Dolcita, Krush, Mosaic, Nectaron, Superdelic, Talus) creates a cohesive, fruit-forward profile without sharp herbal or resinous edges. Malt remains understated, allowing the hop aromatics to take center stage.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and welcoming, with juicy mango and citrus flooding the palate immediately. The mid-palate carries guava and stone fruit through a full, rounded mouthfeel that belies the modest 5.6% ABV. Bitterness sits at a gentle 60 IBU—present but never sharp, complementing the fruit without dominating; the finish turns toward sweetness and smoothness rather than drying out.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste lingers with residual tropical fruit sweetness and a clean, smooth fade. No harsh drying or astringency mars the close.
