◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright hop flavor—piney, resinous, and citrus-forward from the first sip. A moderate bitterness develops in the mid-palate, balanced by a light, crisp malt sweetness that prevents harshness. The body remains refreshingly light, allowing the hop profile to remain the primary focus throughout.

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.
