◐ Taste

The entry is clean and fruity, with stone fruit and berry flavors building through the mid-palate. Pine and resin develop steadily, supported by earthy undertones that anchor the tropical hop character. The 60 IBUs assert themselves as a measured bitterness that complements rather than overwhelms, finishing with a dry, hoppy persistence.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
