Tasting Notes

Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical fruit—ripe papaya and passionfruit dominate, supported by bright citrus notes. Beneath the fruit, soft wheat and oat malts provide a gentle cereal foundation. Simcoe and Idaho 7 contribute herbal and floral undertones without aggressive dankness, creating an inviting and balanced aromatic profile.

Taste

The palate opens with lush tropical fruit character that fills the mouth generously. The wheat and oat adjuncts deliver a smooth, creamy texture that rounds the mouthfeel. Bitterness remains restrained at 45 IBU, allowing fruit and soft malts to remain prominent; a subtle peach note emerges mid-palate before transitioning into a clean, refreshing finish.
