◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with immediate citrus impact on the mid-palate. Tropical character develops smoothly alongside moderate bitterness that resolves dry and refreshing. The 6.5% ABV allows the hop character to dominate without alcohol warmth, while the 60 IBU provides a defined bitter spine without harshness.

Tulip glass

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