Appearance

Hazy golden-yellow with a soft, translucent quality typical of the New England style. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with moderate persistence. Fine carbonation creates a gentle, rolling texture in the body.

Aroma

The New Zealand hop character dominates with bright peach and stone fruit notes alongside tropical fruit aromatics—mango and passionfruit are evident. A citrus thread runs through, fresh and clean, with subtle background notes of pale malz providing gentle sweetness without obstruction.

Taste

Entry is juicy and approachable with immediate peach and tropical fruit flavors. The mid-palate maintains this fruity intensity while the bitterness—moderate at 45 IBU—sits balanced rather than assertive, integrating cleanly into the overall profile. The body feels full-rounded without heaviness, and a subtle crispness cuts through the sweetness.
