Aroma

The nose is dominated by the distinctive Centennial hop character, delivering bright citrus notes with prominent grapefruit and floral undertones. A subtle resinous quality emerges beneath the hops, balanced by a clean, grainy malt backbone that grounds the aromatic profile without overwhelming the delicate hop expression.

Taste

The palate opens with a rich, well-developed malt sweetness that provides excellent body and balance for a 7% ABV beer. Mid-palate brings waves of bitter, hoppy character with pronounced pine and resinous notes complemented by grapefruit citrus, while the clean finish prevents any cloying sensation and maintains excellent drinkability.
