Very dry and assertively bitter.

The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Aroma

The nose immediately strikes with vibrant citrus zest and grapefruit notes from the Centennial and Citra hop blend, complemented by subtle floral and herbal undertones. Clean malt backbone provides gentle support without overwhelming the assertive hop character, inviting further exploration.

Taste

Entry brings bright citrus and tropical fruit flavors that carry through the mid-palate with grapefruit bite and stone fruit complexity. The 65 IBU bitterness is well-balanced and present but not aggressive, finishing with a crisp, dry mouthfeel that leaves minimal residual sweetness despite the moderate 6.8% ABV.
