◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit—mango, passionfruit, and peach from the Nelson Sauvin and Citra hops. White grape and citrus zest emerge on the second pass, mingling with subtle grain sweetness from the Malz bill. A soft, clean yeast presence rounds the aromatic profile without harsh sulfur or phenols.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a lush entry of stone fruit and grapefruit, with Nelson Sauvin's distinctive white wine note weaving through the mid-palate. Citra's brightness adds layered citrus complexity. The 50 IBU bitterness is restrained and refined, never harsh, while oat and flaked oat malts provide a silky, almost creamy body that carries the hop character elegantly toward the finish.

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.
