◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy citrus and a bittersweet complexity that evolves through the mid-palate. Wheat and Cara malt layers provide body and subtle sweetness, while Cascade and Bobek hops build a measured, clean bitterness that remains integrated rather than aggressive.

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.
