Former Tenant

◎ Appearance

Former Tenant presents a deep ruby-red hue, bright and translucent without cloudiness. The head is substantial and creamy, with fine white foam that clings persistently to the glass walls. Carbonation is lively and even throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced tropical stone fruits—passionfruit and mango lead the charge, followed by bright citrus peel and resinous pine needle notes. Beneath the hop-forward profile lies a warm toffee undertone from the specialty malts, grounding the aromatics with subtle sweetness and depth.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is full and hoppy, with tropical fruit flavors immediately evident alongside a savoury caramel richness from the red malts. Mid-palate develops a firm, dry bitterness with piney-citrus notes and a lingering resinous quality that builds steadily without becoming harsh. The finish shifts toward a drying sensation with a thread of residual toffee sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderately long and increasingly dry, with the bitterness holding steady through the aftertaste. A subtle sweetness emerges at the very end, offering brief respite before the drying bitterness reasserts itself.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
