◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by assertive pine and resin character, grounded in fresh, herbal Edelhopfen notes that evoke forest floor and crushed needles. Beneath lies a subtle citrus undertone—specifically pithy marmalade and grapefruit zest—adding dimension without softening the overall impact. Light malt backbone provides a gentle sweetness that anchors the aggressive hop profile.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers immediate bitterness with a sticky, resinous mouthfeel that coats without becoming cloying. Pine and herbal bitterness unfold across the mid-palate, joined by marmalade pith and a clean, balanced malt structure that prevents harshness. The 8.4% ABV sits comfortably beneath the hop intensity, allowing resin and citrus to lead rather than alcohol warmth.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and satisfyingly dry, with lingering pine bitterness and resinous texture that persists cleanly on the palate. A faint marmalade pith note fades gradually, leaving behind herb-forward aftertaste without astringency.

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.
