Medium golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting presentation. The head builds quickly and clings to the glass in fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is evident and well-integrated, supporting the beer's structure without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with punchy citrus and fresh pine, complemented by subtle tropical stone fruit notes that suggest Citra or similar modern hop varieties. A clean malt base provides soft breadiness underneath without competing for attention, while the overall profile remains crisp and inviting rather than overripe.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and hoppy with immediate citrus intensity and herbal bitterness that defines the mid-palate without harshness. The clean malt foundation supports the hops rather than asserting sweetness, allowing the tropical and piney character to develop fully. At 60 IBU, the finish trails into a controlled dry bitterness that feels balanced rather than aggressive.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and moderately dry, with hop bitterness lingering pleasantly alongside a whisper of orange pith. The 6.9% ABV keeps the beer refreshing and drinkable, avoiding any alcoholic warmth that would interrupt the clean 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.
