tropical thunder

Tropical Thunder Hazy West Coast Pale Ale. Tropical Thunder is a modern West Coast Pale Ale that combines the classic bitterness of the style with the intense fruitiness of the latest generation of New Zealand hops. In the glass, it presents itself in a brilliant golden yellow, typical of a West Coast Pale Ale. It is crowned with a stable, finely pored white head. Even upon pouring, the beer releases an explosive aroma. Thanks to the use of Nectaron and Superdelic hops, intense tropical notes dominate: Nectaron: Delivers massive aromas of ripe pineapple, passion fruit, and peach. Superdelic: Complements the profile with nuances of red berries, candied fruit, and a subtle citrus freshness. In the background, a discreet, clean malt sweetness (crackers or light bread) resonates, supporting the hop foreground. Taste & Mouthfeel: The initial taste is crisp and light. On the tongue, the "tropical storm" of mango and citrus unfolds once again. Unlike a New England IPA, however, the body here is dry, and the texture is clean and hoppy. The bitterness is clearly present but well-integrated – crisp and lingering briefly on the palate, quenching thirst and inviting another sip. In conclusion, Tropical Thunder is the perfect fusion of old school (dryness and bitterness) and modern hop artistry (fruity intensity). It's a highly efficient, aromatic Pale Ale that fully deserves the name "Tropical" thanks to the New Zealand hops, without denying its West Coast roots. ------------------------------------ The Workshop of Dreams: Our Creative Department In a world where computers control brewing processes, we've chosen the opposite path: radical handcraft. Our creative department is the vibrant heart of our brewery – a place where beer is still "created" and not merely "produced." The Setup: Fire, Wood, and Muscle Power. The heart of our microbrewery is a 100-liter brew kettle, fired in the classic way with gas. There are no digital temperature sensors here that adjust with a click. We work by eye, by feel, and with the direct heat of the flame. Stirring isn't done with a motor, but with our traditional wooden spoon. For us, this is more than just a tool – it's a direct connection to the wort. Every turn lets us feel the viscosity and the development of the beer. Even before the first drop of malt sees the kettle, the work begins at the hand-operated gristmill. Here, the grain is still crushed by pure muscle power – a physical effort that you can later taste in the depth of character of our beers. The Philosophy: If it fascinates us, it ends up in the kettle. Our creative department is a zone of absolute freedom. We don't let ourselves be restricted by style templates. What interests us, gets brewed. Whether it's rare hop varieties from our own garden, exotic fruits, wild herbs, or unusual spices – every brewing session is an expedition into uncharted flavor territory. • Limitless tasting: From crisp dandelion witbier to pitch-black krisch stouts. • Maximum variety: No two brews are alike. Every recipe is unique, born from a spontaneous idea or a seasonal discovery. • True craftsmanship: From the first turn of the mill to the manual bottling – every beer is a handcrafted masterpiece. The result: In our 100-liter brewing units, we create beers with soul. They are "characters," often brewed only once in this form. Those who drink a beer from our creative department don't just taste hops, malt, and water – they taste the time, the physical labor, and the pure passion with which we wielded the wooden spoon. Creativity needs no buttons. Just fire, wood, and a good idea.
