Transpacific

◎ Appearance

Transpacific presents a hazy golden hue, true to its unfiltered nature. The cloudy suspension catches light without obscuring the vibrant base color. A moderate head forms and holds with fair retention, supported by the beer's moderate carbonation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright grapefruit citrus, anchored by supporting tropical fruit notes that suggest passion fruit or stone fruit. Beneath the aromatic hops lies a dank, slightly herbal character—earthy and herbaceous—while pale malt contributes a soft, biscuity backdrop that prevents the profile from turning overly sharp.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-flavored and direct, with citrus and herbal hop character asserting themselves immediately. The mid-palate shows good balance: pale malt provides a light, sweet foundation that supports rather than masks the hop bitterness. Bitterness is pronounced and clean, more articulate than in the brewery's hazier offerings, finishing dry without harshness.

◑ Finish

A firm, lingering bitterness carries through the aftertaste, sustained and clear. The finish remains dry, with subtle herbal notes persisting into the fade.
