Hoptic Nerve

◎ Appearance

Hoptic Nerve presents a bright golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and a pale straw cast. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with persistent Schaumhaftung, leaving fine lacing on each sip. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a inviting visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by the distinctive character of Nelson Sauvin, delivering tropical stone fruit and subtle white wine notes alongside bright citrus zest from Amarillo. Mosaic adds a floral complexity with hints of peach and honeysuckle. The overall impression is aromatic and refined, without any sharp or aggressive hop burn.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with citrus and tropical fruit flavors unfolding across the palate. The late hop additions provide clean, dimensional flavor rather than overbearing bitterness—the 30 IBU sits comfortably integrated. Mid-palate reveals subtle floral and stone fruit character, with a delicate malt backbone supporting without dominating.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and crisp, with lingering citrus and subtle tropical notes fading gracefully. Bitterness recedes quickly, leaving a refreshing, dry aftertaste that invites another sip.
