Top of the Broc

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a soft, hazy veil throughout—characteristic of the style and achieved through dry-hopping technique. A dense white head forms on the pour with moderate retention and light lacing on the glass. Fine carbonation creates a gentle effervescence without aggressive bubbling.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with stone fruit—particularly ripe peach—layered with bright citrus notes of grapefruit and candied tropical fruit. Cashmere and Strata contribute subtle herbal undertones that frame the fruit without overwhelming it. Soft noble-hop character adds a whisper of floral spice, while the malt remains restrained in the background.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and juicy, with immediate peach and mango character that feels refreshing rather than cloying. Mid-palate develops layered citrus—grapefruit particularly prominent—balanced by moderate bitterness from the 50 IBU. Citra's signature note weaves through the finish, while a subtle creamy mouthfeel prevents astringency, keeping the beer approachable at 6% ABV.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and medium in length, with lingering citrus and a gentle tropical fade. Refreshing character dominates rather than heavy residue, leaving the palate clean and ready for the next sip.
