7Brau's hop-forward IPA — citrus and tropical fruit with a clean bitter finish. Designed for the Korean convenience store shelf: bold enough to differentiate from macro lagers, approachable enough for drinkers exploring craft for the first time.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon and grapefruit—supported by pronounced tropical fruit esters that suggest mango and passionfruit. Pine and resinous hop character provide backbone, with subtle floral and herbal undertones that prevent the profile from becoming one-dimensional.

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