◎ Appearance

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh stone fruit—peach and apple—rounded by subtle tart cranberry notes that add complexity. A light herbal and grassy hop backdrop emerges without overwhelming the fruit-forward character. The overall impression is wine-like and inviting, with clean fermentation allowing the adjuncts to shine.

◐ Taste

Entry is dry and crisp, with peach and apple flavors establishing themselves immediately. Mid-palate develops a gentle tartness from cranberry, balanced by subtle hop bitterness and a clean, lean malt backbone. The finish remains dry and refreshing, with no lingering sweetness, making this a sessionable year-round option.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
