16 Rainbow of Death

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with bright, translucent clarity and a fine white head that settles to a modest collar. The carbonation is visible and lively, with steady bubble streams and good retention on the glass surface.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bold citrus and stone fruit—bright lemon zest alongside peach and apricot. Tropical notes of melon and coconut emerge from the mid-palate hops, layered with floral undertones and a subtle gooseberry character. The late additions of Columbus and Chinook bring a distinctive earthy spice and dry smoke to the background.

◐ Taste

The palate enters crisp and fruity, with citrus and stone-fruit complexity developing through the center. A balanced hop bitterness of moderate intensity carries spicy and smoky-earthy undertones without overwhelming the fruity foundation. The finish is dry and lingering, with the earthy smoke and gooseberry notes extending the aftertaste.

◑ Finish

A clean, moderately long finish with persistent earthy spice and fading stone-fruit sweetness. The aftertaste remains dry and pleasant, with a subtle smoky echo.
