Big Hearted

◎ Appearance

Big Hearted presents a deep amber hue with excellent clarity and a tightly knit head that leaves fine lacing around the glass as you drink. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting a dense foam collar that persists throughout the tasting.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—grapefruit zest and orange peel—layered with stone fruit and berry character that suggests a careful balance of noble and American hop varieties. A subtle malt backbone emerges beneath, contributing a light caramel sweetness without dominating the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry reveals immediate citric and fruity hop character, with the medium-high bitterness settling in quickly and building toward the mid-palate. Cane sugar adds a clean, dry sweetness that prevents the beer from becoming too resinous, while the 9.5% ABV provides body and warmth without harsh alcohol burn. The finish is dry and lingering, with persistent hop bitterness framed by a light fruit sweetness.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is marked by a sustained, clean bitterness with fading berry and citrus notes that extend the experience. Alcohol warmth builds gradually, leaving the palate dry and inviting another sip.
