Big Bird

◎ Aussehen

Big Bird presents a cloudy golden-yellow pour with fine suspended particles characteristic of an unfiltered Double IPA. The head rises dense and creamy, clinging to the glass with sustained lacing as you drink. Carbonation is brisk and well-integrated, supporting the beer's vibrant, energetic presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose bursts with ripe tropical fruit—fresh-pressed orange, candied pineapple, and papaya—layered over bright citrus zest and a subtle spruce backdrop. These fruity, hop-derived aromatics sit atop a clean malt foundation, with no oxidative or yeasty notes competing for attention. The overall impression is fresh and inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with a wave of tropical sweetness—ripe cantaloupe and kiwi—before citrus floods in with lime, mandarin, and grapefruit pith bringing genuine tartness. The medium body is rounded and creamy rather than thin, providing a soft cushion underneath the bright acidity. A restrained herbal bitterness emerges in the mid-palate and closes cleanly without harshness, demonstrating careful balance for a beer at 8.5 percent.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering citrus pith and a soft herbal bite that fades gracefully. No cloying sweetness or sticky residue—the aftertaste remains bright and refreshing, inviting another sip.

Serviertemperatur 8–11°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Die geschwungene Form konzentriert Hopfenaromen und hält den Schaum. Unverzichtbar für aromatische Ales und IPAs, bei denen die Nase die halbe Erfahrung ist.
