Garden Ale

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with clean lacing. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, producing a lively bead that sustains throughout. The body reads visually light but structured, appropriate to the mid-strength category.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—layered underneath with delicate floral character from the single-variety Ella hopping. A supporting stone-fruit note of ripe apricot emerges beneath, while the pale and crystal malts contribute a subtle warmth without dominating. The overall impression is clean and inviting rather than aggressively aromatic.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and light-bodied, with the citrus character translating cleanly to the palate alongside gentle floral notes. Mid-palate shows the touch of caramel from crystal malt providing structure and a whisper of sweetness that prevents thinness. Bitterness is restrained at 25 IBU—clean and balanced rather than assertive, finishing with a dry, hoppy edge.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short and clean, with lingering citrus and a faint hoppy dryness. Minimal aftertaste allows the palate to reset quickly, making this beer ideally suited to extended social drinking.
