◌ Aroma

The nose leads with noticeable spice notes—likely from specialty grains or yeast character—complemented by subtle dried fruit and light herbal undertones.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and slightly warming, with spice building steadily across the mid-palate. The 30 IBU bitterness sits in the background, providing restraint and allowing the spicy character to remain the focal point. Malt sweetness is moderate and well-integrated, creating a rounded, full-bodied mouthfeel without heaviness.

Serve at 6–8°C

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

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.
