Komodo Dragon

◎ Appearance

Komodo Dragon presents a pale golden hue with a distinctive hazy suspension throughout the glass. The turbidity arises from yeast and protein compounds, lending an inviting, opaque quality. A generous, creamy head forms readily and persists, creating fine lacing on the glass walls as it recedes.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by ripe tropical stone fruits—juicy pineapple and passion fruit come forward immediately, supported by bright citrus notes that suggest grapefruit zest and lemon. A soft, herbaceous hop character underpins the fruit, while the base remains clean with no evident yeast esters or malt prominence, allowing the aromatic hops to lead.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and velvety, with the tropical fruit notes translating from the aroma into a juicy mid-palate. A moderate bitterness—proportionate to the 50 IBU—emerges smoothly without harshness, balancing the sweetness from a restrained malt bill. The body remains pillowy and light, never becoming thin, while carbonation level reinforces the refreshing character.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and brisk, with lingering citrus and subtle tropical notes fading over several seconds. No sticky sweetness or excessive astringency remains—instead, an inviting dryness and brightness encourage the next sip.
