Space Ways

◎ Appearance

Space Ways presents a pale golden hue with a distinctly hazy, opaque character typical of the New England style. The thick, creamy head exhibits excellent retention and fine Schaumkleiden along the glass. Fine carbonation contributes to the pillowy mouthfeel and sustained foam structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright, stone-fruit aromatics—mango and nectarine dominate, followed by zesty lime zest that adds citric lift. Nelson hop character introduces a distinctive white-grape note with floral undertones, while a dank, subtly herbal quality rounds out the profile without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and welcoming, carrying the fruity hop character into the mid-palate with mango and stone-fruit notes. The body remains pillowy and approachable, yet the bitterness develops with more structure than typical for the style, providing a firmer grip that prevents the beer from becoming cloying. The herbal, slightly grassy undertone persists through the tasting.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering citrus and herbal notes that fade gradually. The bitterness recedes steadily, leaving a pleasant, slightly peppery aftertaste.

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.
