Ice Breaker

◎ Appearance

Ice Breaker presents a bright golden-amber hue with a hazy, unfiltered character that signals the retained hop matter. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with moderate persistence, while fine carbonation produces a lively bead that rises steadily through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes—lemon and grapefruit zest—layered over tropical fruit character from the Citra and Simcoe additions. Supporting this is a clean pine resin backbone with herbaceous undertones, while pale and amber malts contribute a subtle biscuit sweetness that prevents the hops from dominating.

◐ Taste

On entry, a crisp bitterness meets a balanced malt sweetness, with the Simcoe and Citra hops delivering sustained citrus and piney notes across the mid-palate. Carapils and torrefied wheat build a rounded, full body that carries the hop expression without harshness, while the finish maintains grip without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering pine and citrus notes that fade gracefully. Bitterness persists without overstaying, leaving a refreshing, dry aftertaste.
