Wearing Out Sandals!

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a hazy, opaque body characteristic of the style. A dense, cream-colored head forms readily and clings to the glass with good retention. Bright carbonation is evident throughout, lending visual liveliness to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with resinous pine and dank herbal notes from Simcoe, layered beneath bright passionfruit and grapefruit aromatics supplied by Citra Cryo. Idaho 7 reinforces the pine character with woody, slightly earthy undertones. The Cryo processing concentrates hop oils into a vivid, punchy bouquet that dominates without overshadowing the beer's tropical-fruity backbone.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable despite aggressive hop character. The mid-palate balances sticky, resinous pine and citrus-forward bitterness against subtle tropical stone-fruit notes, creating a dynamic interplay of dank and fruity elements. Fifty IBUs provide structure and grip without harshness; the 6% ABV allows the hop complexity to shine without alcohol heat or excess body.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and moderately dry, with lingering resinous pine and subtle grapefruit persistence. A refreshing, clean conclusion invites the next sip.
