◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and assertive, with citrus and pine landing immediately on the palate. Mid-palate maintains hop-driven bitterness with a firm, balanced backbone; the Malz structure stays lean and dry, allowing hops to remain the focal point. Finish is clean and dry, with lingering pine and a measured bitter length.

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.
