◎ Appearance

Deep golden amber with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. A dense, off-white head forms readily and maintains solid lacing down the glass, characteristic of the beer's robust malt structure and hop-driven character.

◌ Aroma

Intense hop-forward nose dominated by resinous pine and dank earth, with bright citrus and orange zest cutting through. Floral and herbal notes add complexity, while subtle malt backbone provides a clean, dry undertone beneath the aromatic intensity.

◐ Taste

Bold, assertive entry with pronounced hop bitterness and resinous character that builds through the mid-palate. Citrus and orange flavours integrate with subtle herbal spice and a clean, dry malt foundation. The 9.7% ABV adds warmth and body without obscuring the hop definition.

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.
