Carousel

◎ Appearance

Carousel presents a warm amber hue with good clarity and a fine, persistent head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a stable foam collar that gradually recedes to leave delicate residue on the rim.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes from the late American hops, bringing forward grapefruit zest and orange peel. Supporting these are gentle Malz undertones—biscuit and light toffee—that ground the composition without overwhelming the hop-forward character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with moderate body and a well-balanced entry of sweet malt and restrained bitterness. Mid-palate brings tropical fruit notes—pineapple and passion fruit—from the American hop blend, while a clean, controlled bitterness (28 IBU) maintains structure without harsh edges. The finish dries pleasantly toward the back of the mouth.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and moderate in length, with tropical fruit notes fading into a dry, slightly bitter aftertaste. The overall impression is refreshing and sessionable, characteristic of the Best Bitter style.
