◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with juicy stone fruit and orange zest leading the palate. Mid-palate develops a pleasant herbal-resinous quality without harsh edges; the 42 IBU provides balanced bitterness rather than aggression. Finish holds a lean, dry quality with lingering citrus and a faint earthy resin note.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
