◌ Aroma

The nose immediately projects ripe tropical fruit—pineapple and mango lead with bright intensity, supported by stone fruit undertones of peach and apricot. Noble hop character shines through without aggression, adding citrus zest and a whisper of herbal definition. The overall impression is juicy and inviting rather than sharp or demanding.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with smooth, fruit-forward entry that carries the tropical and stone fruit character through cleanly. Bitterness remains restrained at 8 IBU, allowing the hop-derived fruity notes to dominate rather than the typical assertive bite of traditional IPAs. The body is noticeably light and sessionable, with a creamy, juicy texture that encourages continued drinking.

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.
