◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean, medium body and a bold hop-driven bitterness that sits solidly at 60 IBU without harshness. Tropical and citrus flavors develop mid-palate, supported by a dry, grainy malt base that provides balance without sweetness. The bitterness lingers and defines the finish, with a slight herbal undertone from the Centennial and Idaho 7 additions.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
