Very dry and assertively bitter.

The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Aroma

The nose is dominated by vibrant citrus and tropical fruit notes from the Citra and Mosaic hop blend, with pronounced grapefruit and pineapple aromatics. Pine and herbal undertones provide complexity, while floral elements add elegance without overwhelming the bouquet.

Taste

The palate opens with bright citrus and juicy tropical flavors that immediately engage the senses, with the Mosaic hops contributing stone fruit and subtle herbal notes. The mid-palate maintains excellent balance between hop character and malt sweetness, building toward a crisp, well-defined bitterness that doesn't overshadow the fruit-forward profile.
