Indian Summer

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that builds quickly and holds with fine lacing. The carbonation is crisp and even, evidenced by a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body. The beer presents a clean, inviting visual profile typical of well-executed West Coast styling.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads decisively with fresh pine and bright citrus notes, immediately followed by a wave of tropical fruit character. Distinct mango and orange notes emerge alongside the herbal, resinous quality imparted by Mosaic, Simcoe, and Amarillo hops. A subtle maltiness sits beneath, adding gentle depth without compromising the hop-forward character.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and punchy, with orange and mango fruit flavors complementing the prominent pine and citrus bitterness. The mid-palate maintains that hoppy intensity while lightly kilned speciality malts provide restrained sweetness and subtle body. The finish is dry and persistent, with the bitterness lingering cleanly without harshness, leaving a refreshing, peppery aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and moderately persistent, trailing off with lingering pine and citrus notes. A gentle peppery dryness and mild bitterness remain on the palate, inviting another sip without overstaying.
