Aroma

Boldly aromatic with dominant Centennial and Simcoe hop character, delivering a striking nose of fresh citrus peel and resinous pine. Tropical fruit notes layer underneath the assertive hop aromatics, with hints of grapefruit zest. The alcohol warmth is restrained despite the 10.1% ABV, allowing the complex hop profile to shine.

Taste

The palate explodes with aggressive yet balanced bitterness (85 IBU) that never overwhelms the citrus and piney hop flavors. A robust full-bodied malt backbone provides essential sweetness to counter the assertive resin character, while tropical fruit and grapefruit notes weave throughout the mid-palate. The 10.1% alcohol adds subtle warmth without harshness, maintaining drinkability despite the beer's formidable intensity.

Finish

A remarkably clean, dry finish where the bitterness lingers pleasantly without becoming astringent. The lingering hop resin and pine notes fade gradually, leaving a crisp aftertaste that invites another sip.
