◐ Taste

Entry is full and smooth, with immediate citrus and piney hop flavors that develop across the mid-palate. Bitterness is medium and well-integrated, never harsh, balanced by a subtle malt sweetness and body. The palate remains clean throughout, with the Pilsner and Mela Red Alder malts providing structure without heaviness.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
