KEIPA Black Pepper 0,33%

◎ Aussehen

Hazy golden amber with a light copper undertone, the cloudiness characteristic of the style created by suspended yeast particles rather than sediment. The head is modest but present, settling to a thin collar with moderate lacing on the glass. Carbonation appears gentle and restrained, fitting the delicate alcohol-free profile.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit pith from Amarillo and Citra—layered beneath ripe stone fruit character that reads as apricot and peach. Behind the hop expression sits a subtle herbal tea quality from the black pepper infusion, warming and slightly peppery without dominating the aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is light and crisp, with the hop bitterness (60 IBU) arriving cleanly without astringency. Mid-palate carries forward the stone fruit and citrus, supported by a lean malt backbone that avoids any cloying sweetness despite zero alcohol. The black pepper emerges gradually as a spice note, building through the middle toward a dry, peppery finish.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is dry and medium in length, dominated by a gentle black pepper warmth that lingers without becoming harsh. The hop bitterness recedes gracefully, leaving a tea-like peppery glow that invites another sip.
