◌ Aroma

Pine and citrus dominate the nose in equal measure, with Chinook hops delivering pronounced resinous undertones. A subtle malt backbone emerges beneath, contributing gentle breadth without overshadowing the hop character. The aroma is clean and direct, with no fermentation esters.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive bitterness from Chinook hops, anchored by a balanced malt foundation that prevents harshness. Mid-palate brings layered piney and citrus notes, with a slight resinous dryness building toward the finish. The 6.5% ABV keeps the beer light-bodied and sessionable despite its firm hopping.

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.
