◌ Aroma

Vibrant citrus and tropical fruit dominate the nose immediately—ripe mango, passionfruit, and grapefruit peel lead, backed by the characteristic floral and piney notes of Simcoe and Citra hops. A subtle doughy undertone from the malt provides gentle structure without competing for attention.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a bright burst of orange and tangerine, quickly followed by stone fruit and melon notes. Bitterness is restrained at 50 IBU, allowing the hop-derived fruitiness to remain the focus; the body is medium and creamy, coating the mouth without heaviness. Malz character stays understated, supporting rather than asserting.

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.
