Zéphyr

◎ Appearance

Zéphyr presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with good lacing. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a refined visual presence typical of the New England IPA style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent tropical stone fruit character—ripe passionfruit and gooseberry dominate—layered with bright citrus and hints of green lime zest. A subtle white wine minerality emerges beneath, complemented by the soft, grainy sweetness from pilsner, wheat and oat malts, creating an inviting and complex aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and fruit-forward, with passionfruit and gooseberry taking center stage on the mid-palate, followed by a bright green lime acidity that cuts cleanly through the moderate alcohol warmth. The 90 IBUs provide a structured bitterness that integrates harmoniously with the fruit character, never overshadowing the delicate balance.

◑ Finish

The finish is notably dry, with lingering citrus notes and a gentle herbal undertone that fade gracefully. The drying quality leaves the palate clean and inviting, encouraging another sip.
