New Relic

◎ Appearance

New Relic presents a bright, clear golden amber hue with excellent transparency. The head forms with moderate density and maintains steady Schaumkleiden along the glass walls. Carbonation is brisk and visible, contributing to a lively, inviting presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinctive stone fruit and dark berry notes from the Mosaic hops—blueberry and plum dominate the bouquet. A juicy, fruit-forward character overlays a firm herbal and bitter foundation. The aroma is clean and direct, with no esters or off-notes, allowing the hop character to speak clearly.

◐ Taste

Entry is immediate and unapologetic: bitter and hoppy, with 45 IBU delivering genuine backbone. The mid-palate showcases dark fruit and berry layers balanced against the restrained malt body. Dryness increases through the palate, leaving no sweetness or residual sugar—the bitterness remains prominent without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively short, with bitterness lingering gently into the aftertaste. No cloying sweetness or astringency; the impression is refreshing and precise.
