Morro Bay

◎ Appearance

Morro Bay presents a bright golden-yellow hue with excellent clarity and lively carbonation. The head forms densely and maintains good retention with persistent lacing that clings to the glass walls throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent stone fruit and citrus aromatics, driven by the cryogenic Idaho 7 alongside Simcoe and Citra contributions. Underlying spice and herbal complexity emerge from the Mosaic addition, with subtle balsamic notes that add depth and sophistication to the otherwise fruit-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with crisp yellow fruit and grapefruit character that dominates the mid-palate structure. Bitterness builds steadily, reaching 60 IBUs with a clean, resinous quality; the spicy, balsamic notes emerge as the beer develops, adding complexity and preventing a one-dimensional sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and persistent, with lingering grapefruit and herbal bitterness that extends through the aftertaste. Spice and balsamic tannins fade gradually, leaving a refreshing, bitter resolution.
