A subtle blueberry undertone adds depth, while low background bitterness keeps the profile clean and fruit-forward. The Mosaic hop character shines without any sharp or aggressive edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy tropical and stone fruit character, supported by a soft, creamy mouthfeel that coats without heaviness. Mid-palate reveals layers of peach, citrus notes, and a hint of berry sweetness, while the 28 IBU bitterness remains restrained and balanced. The finish is smooth and approachable, never astringent or drying.

Tulip glass

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