C-Star
C-Star is a massively dry-hopped pale ale that arrives as a haze-bomb of fresh citrus peel and green tea aromatics. The mouthfeel carries a smooth texture that belies the hop intensity—there's no harsh grip here, only a soft bitterness that frames rather than dominates. Lingering notes of citrus zest fade slowly on the finish, making this the kind of pale ale that invites you back for another pour on a warm afternoon. The hop bill speaks clearly without aggression, rewarding those who like their pales juicy but not sweet.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for C-Star
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.
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.
