◌ Aroma

The nose leads with assertive noble hop character—resinous pine and dried citrus peel dominate the front. Beneath the hop intensity lies a clean malt base with subtle grain sweetness, allowing the hop profile to remain in sharp focus. No yeast-derived esters or phenols interfere; the overall aromatics are dry and direct.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and immediately bitter, with hop bitterness anchoring the palate from the opening. Mid-palate develops layered citrus and pine notes, supported by a lean malt backbone that avoids any residual sweetness. The finish is bone-dry, with lingering herbal and resinous hop bitterness that frames the entire drinking experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is lengthy and dry, with resiny hop bitterness persisting well into the aftertaste. No sweetness returns; the beer closes cleanly with a slightly astringent, refreshing quality.

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.
