◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and light, allowing the orange and citrus flavors to take the lead before transitioning into herbal bitterness. The 60 IBUs provide a measured, savoury bite that keeps the beer from becoming saccharine, while maintaining drinkability. The mouthfeel remains smooth and crisp, avoiding the thin flatness sometimes found in alcohol-free interpretations.

Tulip glass

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