◐ Taste

A full-bodied pale ale with immediate tropical fruit flavors that echo the aroma—tangerine, papaya, and stone fruit dominate the palate. Bitterness remains measured at 35 IBU, allowing the fruit-forward character to shine, while a soft, creamy mouthfeel envelops the mid-palate without astringency.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
