◐ Taste

The palate follows the aroma's lead, with tangerine citrus and subtle stone fruit flavors opening the profile. The two-row barley and rye contribute a peppery, grainy spice that builds through the mid-palate, while moderate bitterness (49 IBU) arrives cleanly without overwhelming the fruit character. The malt base provides a dry, structured foundation that keeps the beer refreshing and well-defined.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
