IBU-Sive

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a light, translucent quality typical of the style. White head forms readily and clings to the glass with moderate persistence, leaving fine lacing on the way down. Bright carbonation visible throughout, creating a lively visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive resinous hop character, immediately followed by tropical fruit notes of pineapple and stone fruit. Bright citrus—primarily orange—weaves through, underpinned by subtle grain and a clean, herbaceous edge from the Edelpilsener malts. No yeast esters or oxidation interfere with the hop-forward profile.

◐ Taste

Entry brings a burst of citrus and tropical fruit intensity, supported by the Citra and Mosaic hop character. Mid-palate reveals a light caramel sweetness from the crystal and wheat malts, providing necessary balance without obscuring the hops. Bitterness builds steadily to a medium level, with a dry, slightly grainy finish that emphasizes the Strata's contribution.

◑ Finish

Medium-length aftertaste with lingering bitterness and a subtle resinous quality. Clean and crisp, allowing the hop character to fade naturally without astringency.
