Very dry and assertively bitter.

A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.

Aroma

Chinook, Centennial and Amarillo varieties create a complex herbal backdrop with subtle pine undertones, while the clean malt foundation remains in support without competing.

Taste

The palate opens with snappy bitterness that integrates seamlessly with the citrus-driven hop profile. Mid-palate reveals layers of orange zest and resin balanced by a clean, malty sweetness that prevents astringency. The finish builds gradually, with hop character persisting through the swallow without harshness.
