◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit—notably peach—layered with gentle citrus notes. Noble hops contribute a clean, resinous character without aggression. Underlying maltz provides a soft, grainy foundation that anchors the fruity profile.

◐ Taste

Smooth entry with mild peach and lemon notes developing across the palate. Bitterness arrives gradually at mid-palate—balanced and controlled at 60 IBU—without harsh edges. The body remains light and drinking-friendly, allowing the fruit-forward character to remain central.

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.
