◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bold tropical stone fruit—mango and pineapple—underlaid by a resinous, piney hop character that fills the space immediately. A subtle citrus zest and orange peel brightness emerge on the second pass, with only a whisper of grain beneath the hop intensity.

◐ Taste

Entry is oily and full-bodied, coating the palate with waves of exotic fruit that echo the aroma's tropical promise. The mid-palate develops a layered bitterness—earthy and clean rather than harsh—while maintaining the fruit character. A persistent drying effect builds steadily toward the finish, with piney resin lingering on the tongue.

◑ Finish

The finish stretches long and dry, with a sustained bitter aftertaste that gradually fades into a faint orange citrus memory. No harsh alcohol burn despite the 8.5% ABV, allowing the resinous quality to define the close.

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.
