Fukiphino

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a hazy, opaque character from suspended yeast and hop matter. A thick, creamy head forms on the pour and leaves persistent lacing down the glass. Fine carbonation creates a soft, pillowy mouthfeel in the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent pink grapefruit and crushed citrus, followed by bright lime, tangerine, pineapple, and a subtle coconut note. Noble hops deliver a clean, fruity character without aggressive resin or herbaceous edges. The aromatic profile is juicy and tropical, with no apparent alcohol burn despite the 9% ABV.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and approachable, with layered citrus and tropical stone fruit flavors developing across the mid-palate. Bitterness remains delicate and restrained, staying behind the fruit rather than dominating; the 50 IBU sits comfortably in the background. Medium body and subtle alcohol warmth support the juice-forward character without heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish tapers cleanly into a dry, refreshing aftertaste with lingering lime and grapefruit. A gentle warming from the 9% ABV persists without any harsh or warming notes.
