Matins

◎ Appearance

Matins displays a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. The head is fine and persistent, building a delicate white foam that clings to the glass with fine lacing as you drink. Carbonation is brisk and evident, creating a lively visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh, grassy noble hop character — a hallmark of the Mount Hood variety — balanced by subtle floral and herbal notes. Beneath lies a clean, delicate malt base with hints of spice and a whisper of pepper. There is no heaviness or yeast-driven funk; instead, a crisp, inviting freshness dominates.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and clean, with a gentle malt sweetness that never becomes cloying. Mid-palate develops understated hop bitterness and herbal spice, well-integrated rather than aggressive. The profile remains sessionable and refreshing, with the 35 IBU providing structure without dominating, allowing the delicate complexity to emerge across the palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry, with lingering herbal notes and a gentle hoppy dryness that invites the next sip. Aftertaste remains pleasant and balanced, fading cleanly without astringency.
