Akela IPA

◎ Aussehen

Bright golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and a creamy white head that adheres persistently to the glass walls. Fine carbonation delivers steady effervescence and good head retention, typical of cask-conditioned presentation.

◌ Aroma

Striking aromatic profile dominated by passion fruit and citrus—lemon zest and candied orange peel lead the charge from the Styrian Wolf hops. A subtle spice thread weaves through, supported by restrained malt undertones that allow the hop character to remain central.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with bright citrus and stone fruit complexity, driven by the distinctive Slovenian hop variety. Mid-palate bitterness develops cleanly at 60 IBU without harshness, balanced by a modest malt backbone and light body befitting the 4.8% ABV. The spicy character persists throughout, adding dimension and preventing flatness.

◑ Abgang

Clean, dry exit with lingering citrus and spice notes that fade progressively. The modest alcohol and restrained residual sweetness allow the hop bitterness to define the aftertaste without astringency.
