◐ Taste

The palate leads with pithy orange rind and fresh pine, bolstered by a solid 45 IBU bittering that feels balanced rather than aggressive. Mid-palate reveals honey biscuit, toffee, and a tropical fruit undertone, while the medium body carries these flavors cleanly without heaviness.

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.
