◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent Cascade hop character, delivering bright grapefruit peel and citrus notes. Behind the hop-forward profile lies a subtle depth from the Abbey ale yeast, adding gentle fruity undertones and a touch of wheat grain that prevent the aroma from becoming one-dimensional.

◐ Taste

The palate is dominated by hoppy bitterness with a clean citrus edge that mirrors the aroma's grapefruit character. A balanced malty sweetness from organic barley and wheat malt provides body and counterpoint, while the Abbey yeast contributes fruity esters that round out the mid-palate. The finish is moderately bitter with lingering hop spice.

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