◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hoppy, with citrus character leading the palate. Mid-palate develops a medium body and dry minerality, allowing the tropical fruit complexity to emerge alongside the caramel malt sweetness. The bitterness (40 IBU) sits in the medium-to-high range, building gradually without harshness, and balances the malt backbone well through to the swallow.
