A subtle floral undertone complements the fruity profile, with clean malt support providing foundation without dominating the aromatic experience.
◐ Taste
The palate opens crisp and refreshing with prominent citrus and tropical hop flavors that develop into a firm, assertive bitter finish characteristic of the style. The malt backbone provides pleasant sweetness and body to balance the 58 IBUs, while resinous pine notes persist throughout without becoming harsh or astringent.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and dry, with lingering bitterness and pine character that fades gracefully. A crisp, refreshing aftertaste invites another sip while maintaining the beer's ambitious hop-forward profile.
