◎ Appearance

Deep amber hue with excellent clarity and a bright, golden-tan head that shows fine retention and consistent lacing down the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, producing a steady stream of small bubbles that supports the dense foam collar.

◌ Aroma

Perle hops announce themselves with herbal and slightly spicy character, laying down an assertive bitter foundation. Cascade and Willamette follow with bright citrus and floral notes that add complexity and balance the hop-forward profile. Underneath runs a soft, bready maltiness that anchors the composition without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean malt sweetness and light caramel notes, then transitions decisively into the hoppy character as Perle and its companions assert themselves mid-palate. Bitterness builds steadily and finishes long, with herbal and slightly resinous notes lingering. The soft amber malt foundation prevents any harsh edges, allowing the interplay between malt and hops to develop with clarity.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and decisively bitter, with herbal and floral hops dominating the aftertaste. Dryness increases gradually, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
