◌ Aroma
The nose opens with prominent fruity notes of passionfruit and melon, layered beneath citrus and a distinct grassy herbaceousness. American Cascade hops and Nelson Sauvin work in concert to deliver a complex, inviting bouquet that balances tropical fruit with fresh herbal and slightly floral undertones.

The palate enters with a lightly toasted malt foundation that provides subtle caramel sweetness without heaviness. Mid-palate reveals a clean, crisp character with mild bitterness and lingering hop flavour that maintains the fruity and herbal notes from the aroma, finishing with a pleasant drying sensation.
◑ Finish
