Four Seasons - Spring (2026)

◎ Appearance

Golden-amber hue with a SRM of 9, presenting excellent clarity characteristic of a West Coast-styled triple IPA. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with persistent lacing, showing the beer's structural integrity and carbonation levels.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive pine resin and dank citrus notes from American hops, layered beneath white wine grape and gooseberry characteristics from New Zealand varieties. A herbal-spice bridge connects the aromatic elements, while the substantial malt base provides a warm backbone without obscuring the hop-forward profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and malty, immediately conveying the beer's 12.5% strength without harshness. The mid-palate develops layered complexity: piney and resinous qualities dominate, supported by citrus brightness, subtle berry undertones, and a distinct herbal-spice character. Bitterness is assertive and well-integrated, holding firm against the heavy malt structure without becoming harsh.

◑ Finish

The finish extends with lingering bitterness and pine notes, the alcohol warmth adding presence without becoming obtrusive. Drying through the aftertaste, with resinous and herbal notes persisting alongside a subtle boozy character.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
