Very dry and assertively bitter.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 077XX
◎ Appearance
Deep golden hue with excellent clarity and a tight, persistent white head. The carbonation is brisk and well-integrated, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the glass. Lacing clings to the glass in delicate bands.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with resinous pine and bright citrus notes—grapefruit and orange peel dominate. Underneath, tropical fruit character emerges, with subtle stone fruit and a whisper of herbal greenness. No harsh alcohol vapors; the 7.8% ABV remains well-integrated.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with clean, crisp citrus and a wave of resinous bitterness that feels assertive but never abrasive. Mid-palate reveals tropical notes and a light bready malt foundation that anchors the hops without muddying the picture. Bitterness lingers evenly across the tongue without becoming sharp or metallic.
◑ Finish
The finish is crisp and dry, with residual pine and citrus drying the mouth pleasantly. Minimal sweetness and no warming alcohol heat, leaving a bright, refreshing conclusion.
