◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and tropical stone fruit notes, grounded by the Citra and Mosaic hop character. Peach and berry undertones emerge beneath layers of juicy, ripe fruit character. Subtle floral and herbal notes from the Rakau hop provide gentle balance without asserting themselves.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with immediate tropical and citrus sweetness, transitioning through layered peach and berry notes that develop across the mid-palate.

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.
