Hazy IPA

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden-yellow with a soft, diffuse haze throughout the body, characteristic of the style. The head is white and pillowy, settling into a fine Schaumkleiden along the glass walls. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a gentle visual sparkle without aggressive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus from Citra and El Dorado hops—grapefruit zest and mandarin dominate, backed by subtle tropical stone fruit. A light, grainy Malz sweetness provides grounding, while the oat adjunct contributes a soft, almost creamy backdrop without overt cereal notes. Clean fermentation allows the hop character to shine unobstructed.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and welcoming, with juicy citrus and subtle tropical notes—pineapple and stone fruit linger on the mid-palate. Bitterness is restrained at 50 IBU, providing structure without harshness; it integrates harmoniously with the hoppy sweetness and silky mouthfeel imparted by the oats. The palate remains smooth and creamy throughout, avoiding any sharp edges.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering citrus notes fading gently into a soft, slightly wheaty aftertaste. Refreshing and balanced, the beer does not cling heavily; instead, it invites another sip.
