Heaven Cent

◎ Appearance

Heaven Cent presents a pale golden hue, bright and clear with good clarity typical of a well-conditioned cask ale. The head is fine and persistent, with solid lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is gentle and refined, appropriate to the cask-conditioned format.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced floral and herbal hop character from the Centennial and Waimea additions. Supporting notes of citrus zest and subtle resinous pine emerge on closer inspection, while the Malz backbone provides a light, clean foundation without any breadiness or heavy grain character.

◐ Taste

On the palate, generous citrus and pine flavours develop with a resinous bite that is well-integrated rather than aggressive. The moderate 60 IBU bitterness is balanced by a restrained malt sweetness, creating a crisp, dry impression. The overall effect is refreshing and clean, with good coherence between hop and malt elements.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately short, with lingering pine and herbal notes fading into a dry, slightly astringent aftertaste. The light alcohol weight (4.6% ABV) allows the finish to feel refreshing rather than warming.
