Ratsherrn Matrosenschluck is a Hamburg-brewed Weizen-IPA that bridges German brewing tradition with modern hop-forward craft. This unfiltered beer marries the fruity, spicy character of a classic German wheat beer with the assertive bitterness of an India Pale Ale. At 6.5% ABV, it delivers a full, silky mouthfeel that balances malty sweetness against citrus bite.

The nose is intensely grainy with prominent citrus and tropical fruit—banana and peach—alongside subtle anise. The palate shows bright citrus and grapefruit with a crisp, tingling sensation, countered by soft malt sweetness and herbal spice. The finish is dry and lingering, with a clean hop bitterness that fades gracefully.
