◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright stone fruit—peach and passion fruit dominate—followed by tropical pineapple and subtle lychee notes. Citrus undertones from the Citra and Callista hops blend seamlessly with resinous pine and a gentle floral lift, underpinned by soft honey and caramel from the Munich and Pilsner malts.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with juicy stone fruit and tropical sweetness, quickly followed by a wave of hoppy bitterness and piney resin that develops through the mid-palate. The creamy mouthfeel is notable for an alcohol-free beer, with caramel and honey providing gentle balance against the 45 IBU of assertive bitterness, never harsh or over-extracted.

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.
