◌ Aroma

The pale German malts provide a clean, slightly sweet foundation without overwhelming grain character. Yeast expression remains restrained, allowing the hop complexity to dominate.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with immediate hop bitterness that builds steadily through the mid-palate. The double dry hopping delivers waves of grapefruit, apricot, and berry notes alongside a balanced malt sweetness that prevents harsh edges. At 70 IBUs, the bitterness is pronounced but not aggressive, and the 8% ABV remains well-integrated.

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.
