◐ Taste

The palate opens with clean citrus character that mirrors the aroma, followed by a delicate malt backbone that provides body without heaviness. A moderate, well-integrated bitterness arrives mid-palate, binding the citrus and malt together into a cohesive whole. The finish is dry and crisp, with no cloying sweetness.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
