◌ Aroma

◐ Taste

The palate enters with immediate fruit-forward character—bright citrus and tropical notes expand across the mid-palate. Peach and berry notes develop alongside a crisp, moderately assertive bitterness that balances the fruity profile. Despite 9.5% ABV, the body remains restrained rather than heavy, with clean fermentation supporting the hop-driven expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
