◎ Appearance

Golden amber hue with a pale straw translucence, characteristic of the style's 9 SRM. The beer presents a light haze from suspended matter, with a dense, persistent white head that builds on pour and leaves thick bands of lacing down the glass. Carbonation is brisk and well-integrated, supporting a lively visual presence.

◌ Aroma

Nelson Sauvin leads the aromatic profile with refined crushed gooseberry and white-wine character, creating an elegant top note. A dank, resinous backbone emerges beneath, contributed by Columbus and Simcoe, while Strata and Mosaic layer in berry and herbal complexity. Supporting notes of citrus zest and subtle tropical stone fruit round out a multifaceted, layered nose.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with juicy berry and stone-fruit sweetness from Mosaic and Idaho 7, immediately anchored by assertive bitterness and herbal-dank character. Mid-palate shows depth: resinous hop oils coat the tongue while citrus and subtle tropical notes emerge, balanced against 10% ABV's warming alcohol presence. Bitterness intensifies toward the swallow, dry and lingering, with piney and floral undertones preventing any cloying finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and dry, with residual bitterness and hop resin persisting through the aftertaste. A subtle citrus peel dryness lingers alongside earthy, piney notes, gradually fading to a clean, slightly warming close.
