◐ Taste

The first sip presents lightly sweet entry with tropical fruit flavors mirroring the aroma, then a strong bitterness spreads decisively across the palate. The interplay between sweet fruit and measured hop bitterness creates tension and balance; the citrus notes from grapefruit amplify the finishing bite. The ale's clean fermentation and subtle herbal character support this complex flavor arc without muddying the profile.

Serve at 4–7°C

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

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.
