◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe stone fruit—peach and apricot—layered beneath tropical notes of pineapple and melon. Noble hop character emerges as the beer warms, with subtle pine and green herbal undertones. The aromatic profile is clean and inviting, driven by the fruit adjuncts and Edelhopfen selection.

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