◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a vibrant citrus backbone of grapefruit and lime, layered with tropical stone fruit notes of mango.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a velvety, soft mouthfeel and immediate fruity-hoppy presence. Mid-palate reveals layered citrus and mango complexity, with a measured aromatic bitterness that builds gradually. The body remains smooth and refined at 5% ABV, allowing hop character to shine while maintaining approachability and balance throughout.

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.
