Volando

◎ Appearance

Volano presents a bright golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The carbonation is crisp and visible, creating a lively visual presence that reflects the beer's energetic character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent guava and fresh strawberry notes, followed by refined hints of lychee and green grape. The Motueka Cryo, Nelson Cryo, and Strata T90 hops deliver a cohesive tropical fruit expression without sharpness, with subtle floral and green herbal undertones that support the primary fruit character.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with juicy stone and tropical fruit, settling into a balanced mid-palate where berry sweetness and hoppy bitterness coexist without dominance. At 8% ABV and 80 IBU, the beer maintains structure and refresh; the bittering is clean and integrated rather than aggressive, allowing the fruit-forward character to persist through to the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderately dry with lingering tropical and berry notes that fade gradually. A gentle hoppy bitterness remains on the palate without astringency.
