goldenclearwhite headwell-carbonated

Aroma

The nose is dominated by vibrant American hop character, with prominent citrus and tropical fruit notes layered over subtle pine undertones. A clean, barely perceptible malt backbone supports the aromatic profile, while dry-hopping adds extra complexity and aroma intensity without any yeast or adjunct character.

Taste

The palate opens with crisp, hoppy character that immediately delivers citrus and subtle pine notes against a firm, clean malt foundation. Mid-palate maintains excellent balance with medium body and a building bitterness (50 IBU) that feels well-integrated rather than aggressive, finishing with dryness and grain character.

Finish
