Ananda

◎ Appearance

Ananda presents a bright golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and vivid transparency. The head is dense and persistent, with fine bubbles that cling to the glass in delicate lacing. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a dynamic visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright, fresh citrus notes—particularly grapefruit and orange zest—layered with pronounced passionfruit and stone fruit aromatics from the Citra and Mosaic hop blend. A subtle floral undertone emerges with aeration, while the Malz backbone remains restrained, allowing the hop character to shine without obstruction.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with clean, juicy citrus and tropical fruit that immediately establish the beer's character. Mid-palate brings peach and stone fruit notes with a dry, crisp mouthfeel and moderate bittering that builds gradually without becoming harsh. The finish is refreshing and clean, with hop bitterness lingering pleasantly into the aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and drying, with lingering hop bitterness that fades to a clean, refreshing aftertaste. No cloying sweetness remains; the beer drinks light and quenching despite its 6.5% ABV.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
