Hop Sun

◎ Aussehen

Hop Sun presents a bright, golden-yellow hue achieved through careful filtration to achieve clarity. The carbonation is moderate and steady, producing a fine white head that settles quickly. Lacing is delicate and sparse, typical of a dry-hopped wheat ale with restrained head retention.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright lemon citrus and subtle wheat grain notes, backed by the soft sweetness of pale malt. Noble hop character emerges as a secondary layer—clean and herbaceous rather than aggressive. Yeast remains neutral and unobtrusive, allowing the malt-hop interplay to dominate.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with soft malt sweetness and wheat body, followed by a gentle citrus bite that sharpens toward the mid-palate. Bitterness arrives at 18 IBU—measured and balanced, never harsh, supporting rather than overwhelming the delicate grain profile. The finish drinks clean and crisp, with good drinking length for a session ale.

◑ Abgang

The finish is zesty and lingering, with a dry, slightly tannic quality from the dry-hop treatment. The aftertaste leans toward lemon zest and faint grain, fading cleanly without residual sweetness.
