◌ Aroma

An immediate burst of tropical and stone fruit aromatics dominates the nose. Mosaic and Citra hops deliver pronounced mango and peach notes, layered with bright citrus zest and orange blossom. The aromatic profile is clean and hop-forward, with minimal malt presence and no prominent yeast-derived esters.

◐ Taste

Soft and juicy on entry, with the mango and peach character from the aroma carrying into the palate. The mouthfeel remains smooth and full without heaviness, while bitterness stays restrained at 50 IBU, allowing hop flavor to lead. Mid-palate develops layers of citrus and stone fruit, finishing clean and slightly dry.

Tulip glass

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