◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with a soft haze characteristic of the style, produced by suspended proteins and yeast rather than cloudiness. The head is compact and fine-grained with good retention and lacing on the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a gentle effervescence without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with stone fruit and tropical notes—ripe mango, guava, and lychee emerge prominently, supported by the experimental hop's subtle herbal undertone. Bru-1 and Citra contribute fresh pineapple, green citrus, lime, and grapefruit aromatics that layer atop the fruit-forward base. A soft Vienna malt sweetness and oat character provide gentle malt support without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with tropical fruit and citrus intensity that mirrors the aroma—pineapple and lime carry the entry cleanly. Mid-palate balances juicy fruit character against a restrained bitterness (50 IBU) that sits comfortably rather than assertively. The malt base of oats and Vienna provides body and a subtle sweetness that prevents dryness, while the herbal hop touch adds complexity without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and medium in length, with the lime and grapefruit notes lingering gently against a light herbal dryness. No astringency or cloying sweetness persists; the aftertaste remains clean and refreshing.
