◐ Taste

The palate delivers a clean, crisp entry with immediate hop bitterness that builds through the mid-palate. Citrus and tropical flavors dance across the tongue with subtle malty backbone providing balance, while the 55 IBU assertively dries the mouth without becoming harsh or overwhelming.

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.
