Head Full of Dynamite

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with pronounced haze throughout the glass, characteristic of the style. The dense, creamy head dissipates gradually, leaving soft lacing on the walls. Bright carbonation visible in the form of small, persistent bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with dominant tropical stone fruit—mango and papaya lead, supported by herbaceous pine notes that provide backbone. Subtle citrus undertones emerge as the beer warms, with minimal malt presence in the background. The hop profile is assertive yet balanced, inviting repeated nosing.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers immediate tropical fruit character from Mosaic, Idaho 7 and Cashmere hops, with ripe papaya and mango flavours dominating the entry and mid-palate. Mild sweetness provides roundness and softness, effectively masking the 50 IBUs beneath layers of fruit. The bitterness emerges late and restrained, never harsh, while a creamy mouthfeel carries the flavours cleanly.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately short, with tropical fruit notes fading to a gentle, dry pine impression. No lingering harshness; instead, a refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip.

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.
