Boost

◎ Appearance

Boost presents a hazy golden-amber body with a soft, peachy-orange hue characteristic of the style. The cloudiness is deliberate and pronounced, created through dry-hopping technique and yeast suspension. A dense, creamy head forms on the pour with notable lacing that clings to the glass throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by the trio of Southern Hemisphere noble hops—Motueka brings fresh lime and herbal minerality, Nectaron contributes stone fruit and subtle floral sweetness, while Riwaka adds grapefruit zest and a whisper of pine. Beneath the hop-forward character, soft biscuit malt grounds the aromatic profile without overwhelming the delicate citrus and tropical fruit notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with tropical fruit flavors—mango, passionfruit, and peach—unfolding across the palate before citrus bite takes hold in the mid-palate. The 80 IBU manifests as a restrained, refined bitterness that complements rather than dominates; residual sweetness from the Malz provides balance. Finish dries gradually, leaving a clean citrus and subtle bitter edge without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length, fading gracefully into lingering citrus pith and a dry, slightly herbal aftertaste. No sharp edges or astringency remain—the alcohol warmth at 8% ABV is well-integrated.
