Aroma

The dry-hop character dominates, releasing pronounced tropical fruit notes—mango and stone fruit—alongside bright citrus and piney herbal top notes. A clean, resinous quality frames the aromatics; the underlying pale malt remains subtle and unobtrusive.

Taste

The palate enters with crisp, medium-bodied malt and quickly cedes to assertive herbal and resinous hop bitterness. Tropical and orange notes linger through the mid-palate, while a firm drying sensation builds toward a distinctly bitter, hop-forward close with minimal sweetness.
