Taste

The palate opens with bright citrus and tropical fruit character that evolves through the mid-palate with balanced bitterness and subtle spicy hop notes. The medium body provides good structure without heaviness, allowing the grapefruit and pine to develop, culminating in a firm but not harsh bitter finish that showcases excellent hop definition.
