Chill Factor

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, translucent quality. A dense white head forms readily and maintains fine Schaumhaftung along the glass walls. Carbonation is pronounced and crisp, befitting the style's cold-fermentation character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes from Citra and Azacca hops—grapefruit zest and lime pith—layered atop a delicate Pilsner malt foundation. Polaris contributes a subtle herbal spine without heavy resiny character. The adjuncts (rice and corn) remain quietly in the background, allowing clean hop expression to dominate.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshingly bitter without aggression, driven by a dry Pilsner base and the restrained bitterness typical of Cold IPA. Mid-palate balances hoppy citrus intensity against the lightening effect of rice and corn, creating a clean, almost crystalline mouthfeel. The 50 IBU assertiveness is present but never harsh, finishing with lingering bitter-citrus complexity.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and cleanly bitter, with citrus notes persisting into the aftertaste. No residual sweetness or heavy malt impression lingers—the beer remains bright and refreshing to the final sip.
