Alive Økologisk IPA

◎ Aussehen

Medium golden amber with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a bright, inviting visual presentation. The color reflects the careful balance of pale and caramel malts in the current blend.

◌ Aroma

American hop character dominates the nose with pronounced citrus and tropical fruit notes—orange zest, grapefruit, and subtle stone fruit. Beneath the hops sits a soft, rounded malt foundation with gentle floral undertones. The 2021 malt reformulation has enhanced the aromatic complexity while keeping the profile clean and refreshing rather than aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with bright hop-forward bitterness that is assertive yet never harsh or astringent. Mid-palate shows the malt sweetness supporting the hops, delivering a smooth drinking experience with layers of orange peel, stone fruit, and a whisper of herbal spice. The bitterness resolves cleanly without lingering harshly, allowing the hop character and malt balance to remain the focal point.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and relatively short, leaving a clean palate with fading citrus notes and a pleasant, understated bitterness. No cloying sweetness or rough edges remain.
