The nose leads with pronounced pine resin and citrus zest, underscored by soft stone-fruit notes of peach and apricot. Beneath the assertive hop aromatics lies a gentle, slightly bready wheat character that adds depth without obscuring the hop-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a silky, full texture derived from the wheat base, which carries forward the citrus and pine notes from the nose while introducing subtle orchard stone-fruit layers. Moderate bitterness from Chinook and Mosaic hops arrives mid-palate, clean and resinous, and resolves without harshness or astringency.

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.
