◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by pronounced tropical fruit character from the Australian and New Zealand hops—pineapple, passionfruit, and stone fruit leap from the glass. Behind these sits a clean, subtle malt backbone with just a hint of wheat grain, while the yeast remains neutral and well-integrated.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and crisp, with the tropical hop flavours carrying through the palate without aggression. The wheat flakes contribute a gentle softness and slight grain sweetness in the mid-palate, while 36 IBUs provide restrained bitterness that balances rather than dominates, finishing clean and dry.
