Anchovy Double Broken Heels

◎ Appearance

A pale, luminous gold beneath substantial haze born from the suspension of yeast and hop solids. The head forms dense and pillowy, clinging to the glass with good retention and visible lacing. Carbonation is brisk and even, creating fine streams of rising bubbles throughout the body.

◌ Aroma

Anchovy hops lead with bright watermelon candy aromatics, flanked by ripe berry and juicy stone fruit notes that feel immediately inviting. A supporting pine resin character emerges beneath the fruit, with subtle tropical fruit undertones. The overall impression is bold and clean, without harsh vegetal or sulfurous edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a generous fruity sweetness that mirrors the aroma—watermelon and berry persist clearly through the mid-palate, supported by subtle citrus notes and a creamy mouthfeel. Bitterness arrives as a measured counterpoint at 50 IBU, balancing the fruit without overwhelming it. The 9.2% ABV is present but integrated, lending a slightly warming fullness rather than harshness.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste fades gradually, releasing lingering berry and pine notes as the hop bitterness recedes. A subtle drying sensation on the palate signals the close without astringency.
