◌ Aroma

The Amarillo hop variety dominates the nose, delivering bright citrus notes—particularly orange zest and lemon—alongside a spicy, resinous pine character. Beneath the hops, the Maris Otter and wheat malts contribute a soft, biscuity foundation that complements the tropical fruit undertones without overwhelming the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a juicy stone fruit character—peach and apricot—that develops into the promised citrus and tropical notes. A pleasant, balanced bitterness emerges in the mid-palate, building gradually without harshness, while the light body keeps the beer refreshing and approachable at 4.1% ABV.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
