◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a soft turbidity that sits throughout the glass, characteristic of the hazy IPA style. The head forms thick and creamy, settling into a persistent collar that clings to the glass walls. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, lending a gentle visual texture without aggressive bubbling.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with prominent hop character from Mosaic and CryoMosaic, expressing a blend of tropical fruit, subtle citrus zest, and resinous pine notes. Beneath the hops sits a soft, understated malt foundation that provides body without assertiveness. The overall aromatic profile is bright and inviting, with no harsh edges or oxidative character.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and welcoming, the moderate 6% ABV allowing the hop character to unfold without alcohol heat. The mid-palate delivers layered hop bitterness—earthy and resinous rather than sharp—balanced by the beer's inherent creamy body and soft malt sweetness. Bitterness sits at 50 IBUs, present enough to frame the hops without dominating the overall experience.

◑ Finish

The finish fades with moderate length, leaving behind a lingering hop bite tempered by the beer's natural creaminess. Aftertaste remains clean and slightly resinous, with a subtle fruity echoing that keeps the palate engaged without becoming fatigue.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
