Aroma

The nose is immediately welcoming, leading with fresh citrus zest—lemon and grapefruit notes dominate without sharpness. Light tropical fruit undertones add dimension, while a gentle floral hop character threads through, suggesting a restrained but confident use of noble or classic varieties. The overall impression is clean and approachable, free from harsh resinous or grassy edges.

Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with the citrus character from the aroma translating seamlessly to the palate. The mid-palate reveals a soft, bready Malz backbone that provides body and balance without heaviness, while a delicate bitterness—around 35 IBU—sits comfortably in the background. The mouthfeel is dry yet smooth, neither thin nor cloying, making each sip inviting.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of BOOST

Serve at 7–10°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass
Recommended for this style

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
