◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—predominantly grapefruit with supporting hints of lemon zest. A subtle malty backbone emerges beneath, providing gentle grain character without heaviness. The blend of barley and wheat contributes a soft, slightly grainy undertone that frames the zesty hop aromatics.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy grapefruit and citrus flavors that develop across the mid-palate with a touch of soft grain sweetness from the wheat component. Bitterness is restrained at 35 IBU, providing structure without dominating, and allows the fruit-forward character to remain central. The body is light and approachable, befitting its 4.2% ABV.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
