◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced citrus notes—grapefruit and orange peel—layered beneath clean, herbaceous hop character. Delicate floral undertones emerge from the noble hop selection, while a subtle Malz foundation provides gentle support without dominating the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with citrus flavors leading across the palate. The mid-palate reveals balanced bitterness and a light, dry malt structure that allows hop character to remain prominent without overwhelming sweetness. Finish is clean and herbaceous, with lingering hop bitterness that fades gracefully.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste extends with a pleasant bitter dryness, leaving the mouth refreshed rather than harsh. Hop oils and citrus notes persist for several seconds before settling into a clean, mineral-like conclusion.

Tulip glass

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