◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and lime from the Motueka and Rakau hops, followed by stone fruit notes of peach and apricot. A distinct tropical fruit character emerges beneath, with subtle floral and herbal undertones from the noble hop varieties. The malt backbone remains soft and recessed, allowing hop aromatics to dominate.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with tart citrus and stone fruit, leading into a creamy, full-bodied mid-palate built from wheat and oat malt. The bittering remains well-integrated at 50 IBU, providing structure without harshness. A gentle warmth from the 8.2% ABV sits in the background, never dominating the fruit-forward character.

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.
