Dieses IPA zeigt sich nahezu klar und satt goldgelb mit sehr wenig feiner Perlage. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone hinterlässt dabei einen wässerig-flaumigen Eindruck und hält mäßig gut. Im Duft verschwimmt die brotige bis honigartige Malzbasis mit reiffruchtigen Zitrus- (Grapefruit, Pomelo) und Steinobstnoten (Pfirsich, Marille), welche wiederum in leicht muskatige bis zart herbale Noten übergehen. Der Antrunk kommt mit seiner leichten Malzigkeit und Reiffruchtigkeit relativ breit an. Fruchtig-herbe Noten stemmen sich aber wacker dagegen. Im Mundgefühl zeigt sich ein voller Körper mit guter, feiner Rezenz, samtiger und weicher Textur und einem ausgewogenem Spiel aus Süße und Trockenheit. In Geschmack und Aroma dominieren neben der zarten Malzbasis sehr ausgeprägte, leicht süßliche, reiffruchtige Zitrus- und Steinobstnoten (Grapefruit, Pomelo, Pfirsich, Marille) sowie die dazu passenden fruchtigen, leicht harzigen und herbalen Hopfenaromen . Die 70 Bittereinheiten des Hopfens binden sich dabei gut ein, wirken knackig, aber überhaupt nicht kantig. So ergibt sich ein sehr aromatisches und vielfältiges Gesamtbild, sowie eine tolle Drinkability. Im Nachtrunk bauen die malzigen und fruchtigen Noten langsam ab und nach einiger Zeit nimmt man eine stetig kräftiger werdende, durchaus aromatische, grasige bis herbale und bittere Hopfenaromatik wahr. Fazit: Dieses Bier macht richtig Spaß und bietet Genuss auf ziemlich hohem Niveau.

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierothek', bottled in February 2024. Almost clear, deep reddish amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of caramel, nuts and some red fruits. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter and a little fruity taste of caramel, toasted nuts and hints of red fruits, followed by a short, moderately bitter, a bit dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant ale, very well-brewed, not too sweet. I prefer the style if it's a little fruitier but it's a solid example anyway.
