Dry and firmly bitter.
The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Jasper
◎ Appearance
A luminous pale golden hue with pronounced haze throughout, characteristic of the style. The dense, creamy head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass walls. Fine carbonation rises steadily, creating a soft, pillowy visual presence.
◌ Aroma
Bright citrus dominates immediately — vibrant orange zest and grapefruit pith leap from the glass. Underneath lies a ripe stone-fruit character with subtle tropical undertones. The single-hop Citra expression is unmistakable, with no competing malt or yeast-derived notes to distract.
◐ Taste
Entry is soft and approachable, the oat-and-wheat base providing a creamy, rounded body that carries the hop character without harshness. Mid-palate develops stone-fruit sweetness and citrus definition, while moderate bitterness (50 IBU) integrates smoothly rather than asserting dominance. The finish remains clean, dry, and focused on the Citra expression.
◑ Finish
Medium-length finish with lingering orange and grapefruit notes. The aftertaste remains dry and slightly resinous, with no astringency or alcohol burn despite the 7.8% ABV.

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