◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical stone fruit—passion fruit and guava lead, followed by bright orange zest and subtle citrus notes. Underneath lies a clean, soft Malz foundation with a whisper of noble hop character. No yeast-driven esters; the overall impression is fresh and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with natural fruit sweetness—orange and passion fruit—rolling across the mid-palate without cloying. The body remains lean and clean, allowing the adjunct fruit to shine. Bitterness is gentle at 15 IBU, providing subtle balance without asserting itself; the finish dries slightly but retains the fruited character.
