◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant grapefruit zest and resinous pine that dominate the sensory profile. Subtle orange notes emerge in the background, complemented by a light, clean Malz undertone that frames without overwhelming the aromatic landscape. The hop character is assertive and fresh, speaking to a careful selection of noble varieties.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and citrus-forward, with pronounced grapefruit and piney hop flavours building immediately. The mid-palate balances this hoppy intensity with a delicate malt sweetness that provides structure without heaviness. Bitterness develops gradually and remains clean and measured, finishing with a dry, crisp edge that invites the next sip.

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.
