Hype

◎ Aussehen

Hype presents a hazy, golden-amber body with a light straw hue characteristic of fresh Citra hop expression. The cloudiness comes through the haze derived from yeast and hop particles, lending the beer a soft, approachable appearance. A creamy white head forms readily and clings to the glass with moderate persistence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by ripe tropical fruit — mango, guava, and passionfruit leap from the glass, backed by bright citrus notes typical of single-varietal Citra. Underlying stone fruit and a subtle floral character add complexity without obscuring the front-and-centre hop character. No obvious malt or grain notes intrude; the aromatic profile is clean and hop-forward throughout.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and full-bodied for its alcohol weight, with tropical and citrus flavours mirroring the aroma but deepening on the palate. Mid-palate shows a balanced interplay between ripe fruit sweetness and mounting hop bitterness, which builds steadily without becoming harsh. The finish lands at moderate bitterness — enough to define the structure but not dominate; residual fruit sweetness lingers beneath the bite.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium in length, with citrus and mango notes fading into a dry, resinous aftertaste. Bitterness persists gently on the back of the palate, inviting another sip.
