Stromboli

◎ Appearance

Stromboli presents a striking orange hue that catches the eye with clarity despite its hazy classification. The turbidity comes from suspension rather than yeast sediment, creating a soft, diffused appearance. A modest white head forms with fair retention and light lacing down the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright orange rind and candied citrus, followed by distinct mango and stone fruit notes that define the tropical character. Noble hop aromatics emerge with herbal and floral undertones, creating a layered profile without sharp resinousness. The base remains clean, allowing hop expression to dominate.

◐ Taste

Entry brings immediate hop bite with a creamy mouthfeel that balances the 50 IBU bitterness—assertive but not aggressive. Mid-palate develops citrus and mango notes alongside a smooth, full texture without grain heaviness. The finish sustains a controlled bitter dryness that remains refreshing rather than harsh.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste holds steady with lingering hop bitterness and faint orange notes, fading gradually over several minutes. Carbonation remains lively throughout, supporting continued engagement without becoming abrasive.
