◐ 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.
