Sudden Death - Head Space

Sudden Death Head Space: A Tropical Escape from the Baltic Coast

When the Sudden Death Brewing crew hits the brew kettle, you can bet a massive amount of hops is involved, and Head Space is no exception. Based in Timmendorfer Strand, this brewery has built a solid reputation for uncompromising, modern beer styles. Head Space is their take on a contemporary New England IPA, packing an elite hop combo of Citra, Nelson Sauvin, and Galaxy. Brewed with precision to maximize essential oil extraction and deliver a silky-smooth mouthfeel, this beer is an open invitation to clear your mind and leave the daily grind behind.

Sudden Death masters the art of bringing US East Coast hype to the German Baltic coast like few others. This isn't about classic bitterness; it's about the full spectrum of tropical fruits and subtle white wine complexities wrapped in a body so soft it practically glides across the palate. A true "mood beer" for anyone looking to refresh their mental space with a proper dose of top-shelf hops.

In the Glass

In the glass, Head Space presents an opaque, hazy honey-yellow, topped with a fine-pored white head. Right from the pour, an intense bouquet of ripe mango, passion fruit, juicy citrus, and white grape fills the air thanks to the heavy Citra, Nelson, and Galaxy dry hop. On the palate, the beer is extremely full-bodied and creamy, almost juice-like. The sweetness of the tropical fruit punch is balanced by a very restrained, perfectly integrated bitterness before concluding with a soft, fruity finish that leaves you craving the next sip.
