Lucille

◎ Appearance

Lucille presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, luminous quality. The white head builds readily and maintains good retention, leaving delicate lacing down the glass. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, supporting a persistent foam collar.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced fresh pine and resinous Edelhopfen character from the Columbus and Comet varieties. Navel orange zest and candied citrus peel emerge beneath, accompanied by subtle strawberry undertones. The malt base remains understated, allowing the hop profile to command attention without any harsh solvent notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hop-forward, with piney bitterness building smoothly across the palate. Citrus and resin notes deepen mid-palate, supported by a clean pale and pilsner Malz foundation that adds structure without sweetness. The bitterness peaks at moderate intensity but resolves gracefully, never overstaying—true to Pacific Northwest tradition.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with residual hop bitterness and subtle resinous notes persisting pleasantly on the palate. The aftertaste remains clean and refreshing, without any rough edges or metallic character.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
