Lost Trail

◎ Appearance

Lost Trail presents a pale golden hue with pronounced cloudiness from the unfiltered, unpasteurised production. The dense, creamy head builds quickly and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. Active carbonation drives steady streams of bubbles, maintaining visual liveliness throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit and tropical character — nectarine and white grapes dominate, supported by bright citrus notes and a hint of fresh herbal hop spice. Beneath the aromatic hop profile lies a soft, grainy malt foundation with subtle wheat notes that grounds the composition without asserting sweetness.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and full-bodied, with the soft malt base of barley, wheat and oats delivering a lush mouthfeel. Mid-palate brings forward juicy stone fruit and citrus, balanced by a measured 50 IBU bitterness that does not dominate. The double dry hop regimen (Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin, Wai-iti) sustains the fruity character, creating a drinking experience that remains refreshing despite the 8.1% alcohol.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately lingering, with residual nectarine and tropical notes fading gradually into a subtle dry hop impression. The alcohol sits comfortably in the background, allowing the fruit and malt character to persist without harshness.
