East of Eden

◎ Appearance

East of Eden presents a golden-yellow hue with intentional haziness from suspended yeast and oat content, creating an opaque yet luminous appearance. The head is tight and persistent, with fine Schaumkleiden that cling to the glass walls. Moderate carbonation lifts the suspended particulates without clouding further.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced tropical stone fruit — ripe mango and pineapple dominate, underpinned by subtle apricot. The late-addition Mosaic, Citra and El Dorado hops deliver fruity esters with a gentle floral whisper, while the oat and wheat grist contributes a soft, slightly creamy backdrop without overt grain character.

◐ Taste

The palate is smooth and juicy on entry, with the oat-wheat base providing a silky mouthfeel that softens the structural bitterness. The tropical hop character follows through cleanly — mango and pineapple remain central without excessive resinousness. Mild bitterness at 50 IBU sits in balance, supporting rather than dominating the fruity profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, fading gradually with lingering tropical notes and a dry, refreshing aftertaste. No harsh phenolic or metallic residue; the conclusion remains clean and approachable.
