City of Rainbows

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with noticeable haze from suspended yeast and proteins, creating a soft, diffuse appearance characteristic of the style. A thick, creamy white head forms and maintains good adhesion to the glass walls. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the cloudy body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bold tropical fruit notes—pineapple, mango, and papaya—layered with bright citrus zest from the Citra and Citra Cryo additions. Beneath the fruit sits a subtle floral character with gentle honey undertones, adding depth without overwhelming the vibrant hop profile. A soft, clean yeast backdrop supports the ensemble without introducing phenolic or diacetyl notes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and fruity, with tropical and stone fruit flavors building in the mid-palate alongside a gentle, creamy mouthfeel that belies the 50 IBU bittering. Moderate noble hop bitterness emerges cleanly without harshness, balanced by a light, almost honey-like sweetness from the Malz backbone. The finish remains dry and refreshing, allowing the fruit and floral notes to linger without astringency.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and medium in length, with citrus and subtle honey notes fading gracefully into a dry, refreshing conclusion. No harsh phenolic or metallic notes emerge; the beer drinks light and sessionable despite its complex hop bill.
