Stand By You

◎ Appearance

Stand By You presents a hazy golden-amber body with fine suspended yeast particles that create a soft, cloudy veil throughout. The head forms quickly and persists with moderate density, leaving a light network of lacing on the glass. Carbonation appears gentle, appropriate to the beer's moderate strength and soft malt bill.

◌ Aroma

Riwaka hops lead with a distinctive grapefruit character—tart citrus zest and resinous undertones without any harsh pithy edge. Beneath the hops, soft wheat and oat notes emerge, contributing a subtle grain sweetness and a gentle, bready softness. A whisper of yeast adds body to the nose without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright grapefruit and citrus notes that feel fresh and juicy rather than sharp. Wheat and oats create a pillowy, full mouthfeel that carries the hop character forward without drying. Bitterness settles in at a moderate level—enough to balance the fruit without asserting itself; the finish leans into fruity notes rather than astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish holds medium length, with grapefruit and subtle grain sweetness lingering on the palate. No harsh dry edge or harsh bitterness remains—just a clean, fruity fade that invites another sip.
