◎ Appearance

A hazy golden-amber pour with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The cloudiness derives from the yeast and hop particles characteristic of the style, creating an inviting opacity that signals the beer's fruit-forward intent. Carbonation is moderate and even, with a gentle cascade that sustains the foam.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced citrus and stone fruit notes—predominantly grapefruit pith and ripe peach—layered over a soft herbal backdrop from noble hops. Beneath the aromatics lies a clean, delicate malt base that supports without dominating. The overall impression is bright and inviting, with tropical fruit notes emerging on a second pass, free of any harsh solvent character.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with a pillowy mouthfeel that belies the 6.5% ABV. Mid-palate develops tropical and citric fruit flavors with a restrained, measured bitterness that integrates seamlessly rather than asserting itself. The finish is clean and refreshing, allowing hop character to linger without astringency or harsh bite.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste fades gently with lingering citrus and peach notes, leaving the palate clean and refreshed rather than coated or lingering. A light, dry sensation invites another sip.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

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