◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive citrus notes—grapefruit and mango lead, accompanied by a distinct stone fruit character from peach. Beneath the fruit-forward profile, piney and spicy herbal notes emerge from the hop blend, while the German malts provide a subtle, clean grain backbone without dominating the composition.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers bold hop-driven flavors that follow the aromatic promise—citrus and stone fruit come through with explosive character. A pronounced bitterness of 65 IBU sits at the center, balanced by the dry, clean finish from the British yeast fermentation and German malt foundation. The beer remains crisp throughout, with no cloying sweetness to soften the bite.

Tulip glass

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