Mein Uncle Sam
Brauhaus Nittenau

Pours a hazy orange-amber color with a huge, fluffy head.

Has a nose, which is definitely benefitting from the dry hopping, most notable as for its juicy fruitiness. Got a ripe orange pulp quality to it, defining the nose, together with some guave flesh, citrus peel and tangerine. There is also a cakey sweetness getting noteable amongst the hops, adding a nice layer of complexity to the aromas.

Has a soft carbonation with a light to medium body, remaining smooth till the end with a subtle effervescent carbonation coming up.

Tastes of sweet, sugared orange pulp, not yet close to a lemonade impression, but with a good amount of caramel malts cutting through, which get balanced by crisp citrus and aqueous water melon. Has a very silk mid palate, while lemon returns to the tongue during the finish, providing a juicy citrus dryness among sugar infused yeast dough.

Very balanced on the palate, with a tropical fruit quality on the nose, establishing a nuanced impression of luscious, multi layered oranges on the palate, together with a prickly, lime infused cactus water crispness.
