The Prequel

◎ Aussehen

The Prequel presents a hazy golden pour with a soft, diffuse quality that catches light without clarity. The head settles to a thin, persistent collar with moderate lacing that clings gently to the glass. Fine carbonation lifts the haziness, creating a luminous, suspended character rather than heavy opacity.

◌ Aroma

Galaxy hops dominate the nose with forward passionfruit and mango notes, layered with crisp pineapple and white grapefruit citrus. Beneath the aromatic hop expression sits a clean, understated Malz foundation that supports without competing. The profile remains fruity and dry-leaning, with no resinous bite or alcohol warmth apparent.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and inviting despite the generous dry-hop charge, with tropical stone fruit and citrus zest unwinding across the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained, allowing the fruit character to carry the flavor progression without harshness or astringency. The body is fuller than the finish would suggest, underpinning the hop expression with a subtle Malz sweetness that fades cleanly.

◑ Abgang

The finish closes dry and crisp, shedding sweetness quickly as the hop bitterness resolves into a clean, lingering citrus note. Aftertaste remains refreshing and mineral-driven, with no resinous cling or drying tannins.
