◌ Aroma

The nose presents a forward, assertive hop character dominated by citrus and pine notes from the Citra, Simcoe, and Chinook varieties. Underlying resinous and herbal qualities provide depth, with minimal malt presence—just enough pale grain sweetness to balance the hop intensity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp hop bitterness that builds through the mid-palate, delivering sustained citrus and resinous character without harshness. A light, clean malt backbone supports the hop-forward profile, allowing the bitterness to remain legible and not overwhelming. The finish is dry, with lingering piney and citric notes.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
