golden, clearpersistent headlively carbonation

Aroma

The nose leads with assertive noble hop character, delivering prominent citrus—particularly orange pith and grapefruit—alongside distinct tropical fruit notes of mango and passionfruit. Beneath the hop-forward top notes lies a clean, supporting malt foundation that adds gentle sweetness without overwhelming the aromatic profile.

Taste

The palate opens with a solid malt backbone that provides structure and a moderate sweetness, immediately followed by a well-proportioned hop bitterness that builds through the mid-palate. Citrus and tropical fruit character echoes the aroma, balancing nicely with 60 IBU of measured bitterness that finishes clean rather than aggressive.
