◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by sun-ripened mango and pineapple, with supporting notes of green grape and gooseberry that add complexity without overwhelming. Beneath the tropical fruit lies a clean, sturdy malt foundation accented by subtle herbaceous and floral qualities from the Hallertau Blanc and Citra dry-hop additions.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp, silky-smooth tropical fruit flavors that transition seamlessly across the mid-palate with wheat and oat contributions adding soft body and subtle sweetness. Bitterness remains restrained at 35 IBU, providing balance rather than dominance, while citrus and stone fruit notes emerge in the middle and toward the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with tropical and citrus impressions fading gently into a dry, slightly peppery aftertaste. The low alcohol content allows the finish to remain light and approachable without any warming alcohol notes.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
