Brilliant pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A dense white head forms on the pour with strong retention, supported by crisp carbonation that produces fine, persistent bubbles throughout the glass.

Assertive Pacific Northwest hop character leads with prominent pine resin and citrus notes. Clean organic malt provides a subtle grainy foundation, while grapefruit and floral hop compounds add complexity without any yeast or adjunct distraction.
◐ Taste
Crisp entry with bright citrus and grapefruit flavors immediately evident on the palate. Mid-palate builds resinous hop bitterness (55 IBU) with dry, piney character that's assertive yet balanced, supported by a medium body with excellent definition.
◑ Finish
Firm, lingering bitter finish with clean hop characteristics persisting through the aftertaste. The dryness carries through cleanly without astringency, leaving a satisfying resinous impression.
