◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by vibrant citrus and tropical fruit notes — grapefruit zest, lime, and subtle mango leap from the glass. A mineral undertone from the Alpine water adds freshness and definition, while herbal and floral Edelhopfen character provides balance without earthiness.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with bright hop bitterness arriving early and building through the mid-palate. Citrus and orange flavors dominate the palate, supported by a lean malt base that stays light and unobtrusive. The distinctive mineral character from Alpine water emerges mid-sip, cutting through the bitterness and extending the dry sensation.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry, clean, and refreshingly mineral-driven, with lingering citrus notes fading into a subtle herbal aftertaste. The 60 IBU bitterness resolves gracefully without harshness, leaving the palate clean and ready for another sip.

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.
