◐ Taste

The palate opens clean and dry, with layered citrus flavors—particularly gooseberry and orange—that build through the mid-palate. Noble hop bitterness (55 IBU) provides structure without harshness, while the beer maintains a lean, mineral-like dryness throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is notably dry and lingering, with a crisp, clean aftertaste that leaves behind citrus zest and a subtle herbal persistence. There is no cloying sweetness—only a refreshing, bone-dry conclusion.

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.
