The nose opens with pronounced tropical fruit character — ripe pineapple and papaya backed by earthier pine and herbal hop notes. German malts contribute a subtle bread-like sweetness underneath, allowing the Australian and American hops to command the aromatic profile without overwhelming.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with bold tropical flavors of mango and pineapple, followed by a slightly resinous pine quality mid-palate. At 70 IBUs, the bitterness is assertive yet balanced, cutting through the 8% alcohol and light malt sweetness without becoming harsh or astringent.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with residual pine and herbal bitterness persisting into the aftertaste. A light citrus warmth from the alcohol provides gentle length without any cloying sweetness.

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.
