Dry and assertively bitter.

A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.

Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—layered beneath tropical fruit character. Noble hop aromatics emerge on deeper inhalation, carrying subtle floral undertones that suggest precision in varietal selection. Malt remains in the background, providing a clean base without sweetness.

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.
