◎ Appearance

Golden amber hue with bright clarity and gentle carbonation. The head forms with modest density and settles to a thin collar with fair retention and lacing. Light catches the body with warmth and translucence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant marmalade and pine, driven by the Columbus, Chinook and Amarillo hops. Beneath lies a caramel sweetness from the malt base, with hints of orange peel and resin developing on the second pass. The aroma is clean and inviting without being aggressive.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with balanced apricot and caramel, followed by a malt-forward mid-section that grounds the hop bitterness. Orange peel and resinous notes emerge across the middle, while the 60 IBU bitterness provides structure without overwhelming the fruit character. The finish turns bittersweet, with both hop and malt contributing to the lingering aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The finish holds for a moderate length with a clean, drying quality. Bitterness and residual caramel linger equally, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.
