IKAT

◎ Aussehen

IKAT presents a bright golden-amber hue, clear and luminous in the glass. The head is substantial and creamy, with good retention and fine lacing that clings to the sides. Vigorous carbonation creates a lively, effervescent quality throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent tropical stone fruit notes—guava, mango, passion fruit and lychee dominate the initial impression. These give way to bright citrus facets from the Amarillo and Citra, while a gentle floral undertone from Mosaic adds complexity. A subtle honey sweetness emerges in the background, rounding the overall aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters full-bodied and fruity, with the tropical character seamlessly carrying through from the nose. Mango and citrus notes build in the mid-palate, accompanied by a controlled bitterness that complements rather than overwhelms. The mellow honey sweetness provides balance, while the dual dry-hopping technique ensures a bold yet refined hop presence.

◑ Abgang

The finish is surprisingly bold and lingering, with a clean, dry conclusion that leaves tropical and citrus notes on the palate. The bitterness fades gradually, revealing a pleasant honey-tinged aftertaste.
