Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus notes with underlying pine resin, offering a classically American hop character. Clean malt backbone provides subtle grain sweetness without overwhelming the delicate aromatic profile. Yeast presence is neutral and well-integrated, allowing the hops to shine.

Taste

The palate opens with a zippy citrus attack balanced by moderate bitterness that builds gracefully across the mid-palate. Medium body carries pleasant grain character and pine notes, creating depth without heaviness. The hoppy character remains assertive yet refined, never aggressive or astringent.
