She Shot First

◎ Appearance

She Shot First pours hazy with a pale golden hue, characteristic of its wheat ale heritage. The soft body and fine suspension of yeast particles create a cloudy, diffuse appearance. The head retention is moderate, with delicate lacing that clings softly to the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright pineapple and ripe stone fruit, immediately signaling the tropical adjunct additions. Behind the fruit sits a keen citrus character from the Mosaic and Simcoe hops, layered with gentle spice notes from El Dorado. The overall impression is fresh and fruit-forward, with the wheat ale base contributing a subtle breadiness beneath.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and approachable, with pineapple and passionfruit leading the charge across a light, unobstructive body. Mid-palate brings the citrus hops into focus alongside the spicy character of El Dorado, creating a layered complexity. The bittering is restrained at 65 IBU, allowing the fruit adjuncts and hop aromatics to dominate rather than overpower.

◑ Finish

The passionfruit provides a tart, slightly tart edge that lingers into the aftertaste. The spicy hop finish from El Dorado dries the palate cleanly, leaving a firm but not aggressive final impression.
