◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by American hop character—bright citrus notes mix with pronounced tropical fruit aromatics and a distinct resinous undertone.

A light malt backbone provides subtle support without competing for attention.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with marked bitterness that is immediately balanced by medium body and a smooth, rounded malt profile. Tropical and citrus flavors from the hops persist through the mid-palate, layered beneath a dry, resinous finish that builds toward the swallow. The 6% alcohol sits comfortably, providing structure without heat or alcoholic burn.

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.
