pale goldbright and clearpersistent head

Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical fruit—mango and passionfruit—complemented by crisp citrus notes of lemon zest and grapefruit. Underlying soft Malz character provides gentle support without dominating, allowing the noble hop character to remain front and center. Clean fermentation with no yeast-derived aromatics.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Floret

Serve at 7–10°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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
Recommended for this style

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.
