Patrons Project 49.03 // Sandwich King // Cuban Patty Melt

◎ Appearance

Pale gold with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves distinct lacing on the glass. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a bright, inviting presentation typical of the West Coast IPA style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus—tangerine and grapefruit peel dominate, accompanied by a subtle marmalade pithiness that adds complexity. A delicate floral note rounds the top, sitting cleanly over a light malt base without any heavy grain character.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and zesty, with tangerine essential oils driving the initial impression across the palate. Mid-palate balances citrus bite against a restrained malt sweetness, while moderate bitterness emerges smoothly, neither sharp nor overwhelming. The finish builds toward a clean, dry conclusion with lingering pith and resin.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with a drying citrus character and subtle woody undertones. Aftertaste remains refreshing and grapefruit-forward without any harsh alcohol warmth at 6.0% ABV.
