Hop Take!

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a soft haze characteristic of the New England style. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine lacing. Bright carbonation lifts the suspended yeast, creating a cloudy yet inviting visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose explodes with tropical stone fruit—mango, papaya, and passionfruit—layered beneath bright citrus zest and subtle floral notes. Underneath runs a clean, soft Malz backbone that anchors the hop-forward character without asserting itself. The aromatic profile is bold yet cohesive, with no harsh or oxidative edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and creamy, with juicy fruit flavors unfolding immediately across the palate—mango, peach, and orange dominate the mid-palate with a smooth, almost velvety mouthfeel. Bitterness arrives as a whisper at 50 IBU, providing structure without aggression. The finish is clean and balanced, with tropical notes persisting gently.

◑ Finish

Medium finish with lingering tropical and citrus notes that fade cleanly without drying. The aftertaste remains fruit-forward and pleasant, inviting the next sip.
