◌ Aroma

Pine resin dominates the nose with a sharp, herbaceous character that immediately recalls coniferous forest. Soft citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit—weave through the background, tempering the intensity. The hop profile from Simcoe, Centennial, and Mosaic creates a clean, direct aromatic line without muddiness.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hoppy, with pine and resin coating the front palate before citrus softens the mid-palate progression. Bitterness builds steadily but remains controlled at 40 IBU, finishing dry rather than harsh. Underlying malt sweetness—subtle and clean—provides ballast without intrusive candy or bread notes, allowing the hop character to remain the lead voice.
