Hard Lunch

◎ Aussehen

Hazy golden-amber with suspended yeast and hop matter creating a cloudy veil throughout. The head forms thick and pillowy, clinging to the glass in persistent lacing. Carbonation appears moderate, gentle within the soft, opaque matrix.

◌ Aroma

Nelson Sauvin leads with a distinctive white grape character—reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc—layered with sharp lime from Riwaka. Citra adds a softer citrus sweetness and stone fruit undertones. Beneath the hop complexity sits a light, creamy grain base from the oats and wheat, with no aggressive spice or resinous edge.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens bright and fruity, with the white grape and lime notes translating cleanly from the nose. Mid-palate develops a creamy, oat-derived softness that rounds the moderate bitterness—neither sharp nor lingering aggressively. The wheat contributes body without heaviness, and the double dry-hopping sustains the tropical fruit impression without drying the mouth.

◑ Abgang

Clean, dry finish with the lime and white grape gradually receding. Bitterness fades to a pleasant grain dryness, leaving the mouth refreshed rather than parched.

Gut gekühlt servieren. Session IPAs sind am besten kalt — der niedrigere Alkohol bedeutet weniger Wärme zur Balance der Hopfen.

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