Heathen

◎ Appearance

Golden-orange hue with pronounced haze from the whirlpool and dry hop additions. A dense, persistent white head builds with vigorous pour and displays fine Schaumhaftung down the glass. Bright carbonation evident throughout, lending visual liveliness to the opaque body.

◌ Aroma

Tropical fruit character dominates the nose, with passionfruit and mango leading, accompanied by fresh orange zest. Earthy, dank pine notes ground the profile, while subtle Incognito hop oil adds a layered, refined quality. Clean fermentation allows the hop expression to remain in sharp focus without yeast-derived esters.

◐ Taste

The palate opens bright and juicy with tropical stone fruit and citrus notes that build through the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness from the 38 IBU integration is smooth and integrated rather than sharp, allowing the Strata and Citra hop character to shine. Body remains light and crisp, supporting the hop-forward design without heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and hoppy, with lingering pine and citrus notes that fade cleanly. Slight peach undertones emerge in the aftertaste before a refreshing, mineral-dry conclusion.
