Teppinaki

◎ Appearance

Teppinaki presents a bright pale gold color with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible throughout the glass. A dense white head forms on the pour and persists with good retention, leaving delicate lacing on the glass as it subsides.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinct citrus and yellow stone fruit notes—lemon zest and peach predominate—lifted by clean American hop character. The pale malt base remains in the background, offering only a light grainy sweetness that allows the hop aromatics to command the foreground.

◐ Taste

Yellow fruit and citrus flavors dominate the palate from entry through the mid-palate, supported by a crisp, dry malt backbone. Bitterness arrives mid-palate with balance and precision, building steadily without harshness, and carries through to a long, clean finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and lingering, with citrus and subtle hoppy dryness persisting on the palate. A clean, mineral-like aftertaste rounds out the experience without residual sweetness.
