Winding River

◎ Appearance

Winding River presents a bright gold-orange hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation evident in steady streams. The head builds to a modest height and clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine lacing as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus peel and grapefruit, accompanied by resinous pine and evergreen needles. Beneath these bold hop aromatics lies a subtle layer of candied citrus and floral notes, with the malt providing a clean, polished backdrop.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced hop character—bitter and assertive—while the malt foundation remains deliberately understated and refined rather than sweet. Orange pith and floral complexity develop through the mid-palate, creating a full yet dry sensation without any cloying quality.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and decidedly dry, with evergreen and pine resin lingering persistently on the palate. Bitterness remains the dominant note, fading slowly rather than abruptly.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

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