hopIQ take

Assertively bitter and very dry.

The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Assertive hop-forward nose with pronounced tropical fruit notes — mango and passion fruit dominate the initial impression. Bright citrus character follows, with hints of grapefruit zest and orange peel. Underlying resinous and piney undertones add complexity and depth to the bouquet.
