East Coast Crisp

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, effervescent presence. The white head forms with modest volume and recedes quickly, leaving a light trace of lacing along the glass. Carbonation appears brisk and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with zesty Motueka hop aromatics—lime zest and lemon peel dominate, accompanied by a subtle herbal undertone. Behind the citrus sits a clean, lightly bready malt base from the pale and wheat malts, with no yeast esters or adjunct notes asserting themselves.

◐ Taste

The palate opens light and refreshingly crisp, with the wheat and pale malts establishing a delicate, bready sweetness that never turns cloying. Motueka's citrus character carries through the mid-palate, while a restrained Magnum bitterness maintains clarity and prevents any flabbiness. The finish dries quickly and cleanly.

◑ Finish

Short and snappy, with the bitterness fading briskly and leaving only a whisper of herbal dryness on the palate. No residual sweetness or warming alcohol sensation lingers.
