Crisp entry with balanced malt sweetness that carries into the mid-palate, providing body without heaviness. Hop bitterness develops progressively, delivering moderate bite that complements rather than dominates. The palate remains clean and refreshing throughout, with citrus notes woven through the finish.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
