◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical fruit—ripe mango and pineapple dominate, supported by citrus notes of orange and grapefruit.

◐ Taste

The palate opens juicy and fruity, with tropical stone fruit and citrus sweetness building immediately. Mid-palate remains smooth and full, allowing the fruited character to expand while noble hops provide moderate, balanced bitterness around 40 IBU. The finish carries forward the tropical and citrus notes without harshness, maintaining a refreshing, drinkable profile throughout.
