◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit—mango and passion fruit dominate, layered with bright citrus and grapefruit zest. Beneath the fruit, spicy and lightly resinous hop character emerges, with earthy, dank undertones that ground the aromatic profile without overshadowing the fruit-forward impression.
