◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—layered beneath tropical fruit aromatics of mango and passionfruit. Gentle hop character brings herbaceous and floral undertones without aggressive resinousness. Soft malt sweetness and a whisper of yeast creaminess round out the aromatic profile, creating balance between fruit and hop expression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and clean, with accessible fruity sweetness that mirrors the aromatic promise of citrus and stone fruit. Mid-palate shows balanced bitterness at 50 IBU—present but not aggressive—that complements rather than dominates the fruit-forward character. Body remains medium and slightly creamy, with enough structure to carry the flavors without heaviness, finishing with a subtle drying sensation from the noble hops.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and relatively short, with citrus and tropical notes fading gracefully into a gentle herbal whisper. Residual hop bitterness lingers lightly on the palate, inviting another sip rather than commanding attention.

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.
