Dissenter

◎ Appearance

Deep amber hue with a natural cloudiness that catches the light, characteristic of the style and referencing the landscape that inspired this brew. A substantial cream-colored head forms readily and clings to the glass in fine lacing. Bright carbonation moves through the body with steady, visible activity.

◌ Aroma

A layered hop profile opens with prominent pine and citrus notes, led by the Columbus and Cryo Citra additions. Beneath this sits a floral undertone from the Mosaic and Amarillo hops, herbaceous and refined. A subtle malty sweetness and wheat character provide a warm foundation without competing with the hop complexity.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a bold citrus and pine character that unfolds across the mid-palate into a more delicate floral complexity. The five-hop blend creates a balanced bitterness at 60 IBU that is pronounced but not harsh, with lingering tropical notes from the Amarillo and Mosaic. Crystal and best ale malts provide just enough sweet body to frame the hops without becoming cloying, while torrified wheat adds a clean, slightly dry texture.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately long, with the hop bitterness gradually receding to reveal a faint tropical sweetness. A clean, slightly grainy dryness persists in the aftertaste.
