Hopfenstopfer It's Doomsday
Häffner Bräu

Pours a clear, golden amber coloration with a medium, fluffy head and slightly visible carbonation. Smells of biscuity, bready malt and resinous, citrus hops, with strong aromas of grapefruit and orange zest, as well as just a hint of pine. Taste is a great balance of biscuity, bready malt and slighty resinous, herbal, citrus hops, with distinct grapefruit and orange zest notes, as well some pine and a hint of honey. Finishes with a medium/strong bitterness and some grapefruit, pine and honey lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This is pretty good for a German WCIPA, possibly the best German example of the style I've had actually, even beating Backbone Splitter in my personal opinion. While I'm not huge fan of that light honey sweetness, it absolutely makes up for that with some rather bitter and resinous hops as well as a distinct citrus presence. Really good balance of malt and hops going on here as well.

Pours a cloudy amber colored beer with a stable, fluffy white head.

Smells of orange peel, sweet mango with a zingy hint, grass, blueberry bush and toffee - very appealing and very well nuanced.

Has a soft, medium carbonation with a light effervescence during the finish.

Tastes of orange sweetened lime pulp, together with grass and dried leaves, establishing an early, well nuanced dryness. Offers a soothing, bright malt nuance, earthy with a prevailing dryness, allowing only a tamed sweetness to join in. Finishes with an additional scoop of lime, adding to the dryness, while remaining pleasantly fruity and well nuanced.

Very nice IPA, dry and fruity, with a great addition of herbs and grass, creating a convincing composition between dry and fruity.
