Bird of Paradise

◎ Appearance

Bird of Paradise presents a vivid, hazy pour that shifts in hue with each seasonal iteration—ranging from blush pink to deep amber depending on the fruit selection. The cloudiness, derived from yeast and fruit suspension, creates a soft, inviting visual character. Head retention is modest but present, with delicate lacing clinging to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright, fresh fruit aromas that define each rotating release, layered beneath gentle lactic tartness and subtle funkiness. There is a clean, slightly yeasty quality that balances the fruit-forward character without overwhelming it. The overall impression is refreshing and approachable, inviting curiosity about which fruits comprise the current batch.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers juicy, mouth-puckering acidity that forms the beer's backbone, countered by the natural sweetness of the fruit adjuncts. Mid-palate development is smooth and light-bodied, with a crisp, refreshing quality that never feels heavy or cloying. Bitterness is minimal (10 IBU), allowing the interplay of sour, sweet, and subtle tropical notes to command attention.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and decidedly tart, leaving a pleasant fruity zest that lingers without harshness. The aftertaste invites another sip, maintaining the refreshing character throughout.
