Hazy .394

◎ Appearance

A hazy pale golden brew with a soft, diffuse clarity that catches light without transparency. The head builds moderately and settles into a thin, persistent collar with good lacing retention along the glass. Fine carbonation creates a gentle visual presence throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by vibrant tropical fruit esters—mango, papaya, and stone fruit—layered with bright citrus notes of grapefruit zest and lime. Noble hops deliver a clean, forward floral character without harshness, while a subtle malt undertone provides gentle grain sweetness that anchors the profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with tropical and citrus impressions carrying directly from the aroma into a balanced palate. The mid-palate reveals a gentle malt backbone with low bitterness (13 IBU) that remains restrained and integrated, allowing hop character to remain primary without astringency. The finish transitions cleanly with modest residual sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is creamy and approachable, fading to a soft malt sweetness with lingering citrus notes. A clean, refreshing aftertaste with no harsh drying sensation.
