Ticker Shock

◎ Appearance

Deep golden to amber hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head. The beer exhibits bright light transmission characteristic of the style, with stable lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting the foam structure throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical stone fruit—ripe mango and strawberry wine aromatics from the hand-selected hop blend. Nelson Sauvin and Citra Incognito contribute distinctive herbal-fruity notes alongside bright citrus zest. Underlying dank, resinous qualities suggest cannabis-adjacent hop character, while subtle floral undertones round out the aromatic profile without malt competing for attention.

◐ Taste

Entry is fruit-forward and juicy, with tropical mango and citrus flavors immediately engaging the palate. Mid-palate develops a pleasant hop-driven bitterness balanced by underlying sweetness and a subtle berry note that echoes the nose. The full body supports the complexity, while resinous and herbal hop characteristics build toward a moderately bitter finish without harsh astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length with lingering hoppy bitterness and a pleasant drying effect. A faint boozy warmth from the 8.5% ABV becomes apparent on the back end, while residual citrus and berry notes fade gradually.
