◎ Appearance

Hazy bronze complexion fills the glass, characteristic of the New England IPA style. The cloudiness arises from the yeast strain and fine hop particles rather than any flaw in clarity. Head retention is moderate, with delicate lacing clinging to the glass walls as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone and tropical fruit—pineapple, kiwi, and tangerine dominate the top notes, joined by a subtle candy-like sweetness reminiscent of spun sugar. Beneath lies a warm, malty backbone and the soft alcohol heat of 7% ABV, all harmonized by a particular yeast strain that prevents any harsh hop bite.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and fruit-forward, with peach and lemon quickly establishing themselves on the mid-palate. A spread of tropical fruit and a trace of raw honey add depth and complexity without overwhelming sweetness. The body is assertive and full-mouthed, yet the mouthfeel remains velvety and refined, with bitterness kept to a gentle whisper by the yeast character.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and smooth, with tropical and citrus notes lingering pleasantly without any harsh bite or astringency. Dryness arrives gradually, leaving behind a honeyed, fruit-tinged aftertaste that invites another sip.

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.
