Frooty Baggins

◎ Appearance

Pale golden yellow with a hazy, opaque quality characteristic of the style. A thick, pillowy white head forms and clings to the glass with good retention. The cloudiness stems from yeast and protein rather than oxidation, creating that signature soft, approachable visual appeal.

◌ Aroma

Immediately tropical and vibrant—passion fruit, guava, and dragonfruit leap from the glass, followed by notes of pineapple and bright citrus zest. The NX109 hop variety drives a clean, fruity bouquet with minimal malt character; the emphasis is entirely on aromatics rather than grain sweetness.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and full, with tropical fruit flavors unfolding across the mid-palate—pineapple and citrus dominate without any harsh edge. At 50 IBU, bitterness is restrained and refined, sitting well beneath the fruity character and allowing the juice-forward profile to remain the centerpiece. The body is medium and creamy without feeling heavy.

◑ Finish

Clean and moderately dry, with lingering citrus and stone fruit notes fading over several seconds. The 6.3% ABV keeps the finish light and refreshing rather than warming, making this beer easy to return to.
