◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bold citrus and tropical fruit character from the Bravo, Centennial, and Mosaic hops.

The malt backbone remains restrained, allowing the hop aromatics to command the profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive citrus and tropical fruit character, supported by a clean, supportive malt base of two-row and Munich malts. Mid-palate bitterness builds steadily without harshness, with resinous and herbal edges balancing the fruit-forward entry. The finish arrives dry and crisp, with lingering bitterness and a slight warming sensation from the 9% ABV.

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.
