Paper Planes

◎ Aussehen

Paper Planes presents a hazy, golden-amber body with fine suspended matter throughout the glass. The dense, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass walls with good retention. Bright carbonation is evident in steady streams, creating a soft, pillowy presentation characteristic of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent grape and citrus notes that announce themselves immediately on cracking the can. A rich, earthy dank character follows, layered beneath the fruit, with subtle herbal and resinous qualities from the Citra hops. Pale malt provides a light, biscuity foundation that grounds the aromatic profile without intruding.

◐ Geschmack

On entry, juicy stone fruit and bright citrus flavors coat the palate, developing a soft, full body from oats and Cara malt. The mid-palate shows that distinctive dank character with subtle sweetness, while the 80 IBUs arrive with a measured, lingering bitterness that persists well beyond the swallow. Despite the 6% ABV, the beer carries substance and complexity.

◑ Abgang

The finish is notably persistent, with the herbal-dank bitterness holding firm on the palate for several minutes after swallowing. A whisper of grape skin astringency remains as the final impression.
