◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by pungent floral and herbal hop character, with pronounced myrcene notes that suggest fresh pine resin and wildflower honey. Tropical fruit aromatics emerge on closer inspection—ripe mango, passionfruit, and citrus zest—layered over a clean, understated pale malt backbone. The overall profile is hop-forward without harshness, striking a balance between assertive noble hop character and fruit-driven complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry is bold and fruity, with tropical notes of mango and papaya meeting a clean, slightly resinous hop bitterness that develops steadily on the palate. Mid-palate reveals good balance: the malt provides a subtle sweetness and body without dominating, while the Edelhopfen contribute layered flavors of citrus pith and dried flower. The bitterness integrates smoothly rather than spiking, finishing with a dry, crisp quality that invites another sip.

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.
