◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, lively carbonation. A substantial off-white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. The body reads as full and assertive, consistent with its alcohol presence.

◌ Aroma

Resinous pine needle and woody hop character dominates, layered with bright citrus zest and herbal undertones. The nose is clean and direct—no fruity esters or malt sweetness distract. Alcohol warmth is present but balanced, contributing to the overall assertiveness.

◐ Taste

Punchy entry with bracing bitterness that cuts decisively across the palate. Mid-palate shows concentrated piney and herbal hop character with dry, woody edges. The 7.7% alcohol provides warmth without slipping into boozy harshness; the moderately full body supports the bitter structure without any residual sweetness.

Tulip glass

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