◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by pronounced citrus notes—orange zest and grapefruit pith—characteristic of the Citra, Centennial BBC, and Mosaic hop blend. Beneath the bright citrus lie subtle malty undertones and a soft grain sweetness from the barley, wheat, and oat composition. The overall impression is clean and herbaceous, with no yeast-derived esters.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with forward citrus and a moderate hop bitterness that sits comfortably at 60 IBU. Mid-palate reveals a creamy, full body built from the oat and wheat malts, with notes of white bread and a gentle sweetness balancing the hop character. The bitterness persists without harshness, creating a dry, refreshing finish on the tongue.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
