Aroma

Cascade and Summit hops deliver pronounced citrus—lemon zest and grapefruit—layered with subtle floral notes that add dimension without dominating. Beneath lies a clean, understated malt backbone from Maris Otter and Crystal, contributing gentle caramel undertones. The nose is inviting and aromatic without aggression, striking a natural balance between hop character and malt sweetness.
