X Marks the Spot

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The beer presents a bright, luminous appearance typical of the extra pale ale style, with visible carbonation that contributes to its visual liveliness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced juicy pineapple and tropical fruit character, layered beneath bright citrus notes that dance across the palate. A whirlpool hopping technique preserves the delicate aromatic expression of the American and Australian hop blend, with only a faint hoppy spice emerging at the edge of the bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with clean malt backbone and light body that allows the hop character to express itself fully. Mid-palate reveals the promised juiciness and citrus complexity, while bitterness builds more assertively than the aroma suggests—a firm, resinous bite that provides structure without overwhelming the delicate fruit notes. The finish emerges dry and crisp, with lingering hoppy spice.

◑ Finish

A short to medium finish that remains crisp and dry, with the bitterness fading to reveal a clean, refreshing aftertaste. The hoppy spice lingers briefly before yielding to a pleasant dryness that invites another sip.
