◎ Appearance

A pale golden-yellow hue with pronounced haziness throughout, characteristic of the New England style. The turbidity stems from yeast and suspended proteins rather than settling particles. A dense, off-white head forms with moderate retention and fine Schaumkleiden that cling to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—layered beneath a pronounced resinous character from the Simcoe component. Mosaic and Citra contribute tropical stone fruit notes: mango, papaya, and subtle peach. A soft, bready malt undertone provides gentle balance without dominating the hop-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The entry is clean and juicy, with immediate citrus and tropical stone fruit intensity that fills the palate. The mid-palate reveals a creamy mouthfeel—typical of the hazy style—with continued resinous hop bitterness (50 IBU) sitting comfortably within the frame. A light, biscuity maltz sweetness provides structure without cloying. Bitterness lingers gently rather than sharply.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with lingering resinous and citrus notes fading into a dry, slightly grassy aftertaste. The refreshing character persists without astringency.
