◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with a faint pink tint imparted by cold-steeped elderberry and honey. The beer presents good clarity with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass as you drink. Carbonation is brisk and well-integrated, supporting a lively visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a marked citrus character from dry hopping—primarily grapefruit and lime zest—layered with white-fruit notes that suggest stone fruit and green apple. Beneath this lies a subtle honey sweetness and a gentle herbal undertone from Patagonian hops. The overall effect is fresh and inviting, with no harsh solvent or alcohol notes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a balanced malty body that provides substance despite the modest ABV. Bitterness from the Patagonian hop charge arrives mid-palate with a clean, assertive character at 36 IBU. The elderberry and honey add a thread of faint acidity and gentle sweetness that plays counterpoint to the hop bite, creating a dynamic interplay across the tongue.

◑ Finish

The finish turns decisively dry, shedding the sweetness and leaving a crisp hop snap and a light mineral dryness. The aftertaste fades cleanly, with just a trace of citrus lingering on the palate.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
