◌ Aroma

Tropical fruit aromatics dominate immediately—pineapple and papaya leap forward with crisp citrus undertones. A subtle resinous quality emerges beneath the fruit, anchoring the nose in classic hop character. The yeast strain contributes a clean, neutral backdrop that allows the double dry-hopping to shine.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and fruit-forward, with stone fruit and citrus flavours that align with the aroma. The mid-palate develops a creamy, full texture that belies the moderate alcohol level, while resinous bitterness builds gradually without becoming harsh. At 50 IBU, bitterness sits in balance with the fruit sweetness, finishing clean and integrated.

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.
