◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced citrus and stone fruit notes, particularly blood orange and honeydew melon. A wave of tropical fruit character follows, supported by subtle herbaceous undertones from noble hops. The fermentation is clean, allowing the fruit expression to dominate without yeast-derived esters.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and juicy, with immediate flavors of ripe strawberry and citrus zest that persist through the mid-palate. The hop bitterness sits at a moderate level, providing structural balance without overwhelming the fruit-forward character. A smooth mouthfeel keeps the beer approachable despite its intensity of flavor.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
