Straffe Non

◎ Aussehen

Straffe Non presents a bright golden-amber hue, translucent and clean with excellent clarity. A dense, creamy head forms and persists with good retention, leaving fine lacing on the glass. The carbonation is lively and visible, creating a gentle sparkle throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with candied orange zest and soft caramel malt, creating an inviting sweetness. Beneath lies a delicate spice—clove and cardamom—that adds complexity without overwhelming. A light, clean hop presence supports rather than dominates, maintaining balance and approachability.

◐ Geschmack

Entry brings soft caramel and orange character, grounded by a full malty body. The mid-palate reveals gentle spice notes and a building but never sharp bitterness that sits at 65 IBU—enough to frame the sweetness without asserting dominance. The finish remains crisp and clean, with the bitterness lingering pleasantly on the palate.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and prickling, with a light bitter edge that persists into the aftertaste. The carbonation adds a gentle tingle, and the overall impression is refreshing rather than heavy, leaving the drinker ready for another sip.
