Stratification

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a light haze characteristic of the New England style. The head is voluminous and persistent, with fine lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is brisk and visible, lending a lively appearance to this 10-year anniversary edition.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent ripe stone fruit—mango and papaya leap forward immediately, followed by passion fruit and pineapple notes. Azacca and Galaxy hops layer tropical brightness over a soft, creamy backdrop. A subtle pine and citrus edge from Talus emerges at the rim, adding complexity without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and juicy, with tropical fruit sweetness dominating the mid-palate—mango, papaya, and citrus blend seamlessly with a creamy, almost silky texture. Moderate bitterness (60 IBU) arrives gently, supporting the hop character without harsh edges. Malt structure remains subdued, serving as a clean foundation for the hop-driven experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and medium-length, with pine and citrus notes from Talus lingering as the tropical sweetness fades. A gentle, residual bitterness and slight dryness persist without drying the mouth.
