Submerged

◎ Appearance

Submerged presents a pale golden hue with pronounced haze throughout the body, characteristic of the style. The unfiltered and unpasteurised nature creates a soft, diffuse appearance with fine suspended matter. The head forms quickly with moderate retention and displays gentle lacing as it recedes.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical stone fruit and citrus notes, driven by the combined force of Citra and Mosaic hops in the aroma charge. Riwaka's contribution adds a peppery, herbal complexity beneath the fruit. Subtle wheat and grain undertones emerge from the malt bill, grounding the aromatics without overwhelming them.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced citrus and tangerine character, amplified by the generous 50 IBU bitterness that integrates smoothly rather than harshly. Mid-palate shows soft wheat and oat malt sweetness that balances the hop intensity, while a creamy mouthfeel—likely from the oat contribution—softens the overall impression. The bitterness persists without astringency through to the swallow.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium in length, with citrus and subtle herbal notes lingering pleasantly. A gentle drying sensation concludes the experience, leaving the palate refreshed without harsh residual bitterness.
