◌ 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.

Tulip glass

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