◎ Appearance

Light golden color with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with clean lacing. Carbonation is bright and even, with steady streams of small bubbles rising through the body. The overall presentation is crisp and inviting, befitting a well-executed everyday pale ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with citrus and floral notes from the Citra and Centennial hops—bright grapefruit zest and a touch of herbal spice. Beneath sits a biscuity, grain-forward malt base that provides warmth without heaviness. The aroma is clean and direct, with no yeast funk or oxidation, allowing the hop and malt character to speak clearly.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with the biscuity malt character providing structure and a subtle sweetness that grounds the beer. The mid-palate brings forward the citrus and floral hop character—measured and well-integrated rather than aggressive. Bitterness arrives cleanly at 33 IBU, enough to balance the malt without dominating, finishing dry and refreshing on the palate.

◑ Finish

Snap-dry finish with a lingering but gentle bitterness that fades cleanly. No astringency or roughness, just a refreshing dryness that invites another sip.
