◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—lime and grapefruit—from carefully selected noble hops, layered with a clean, understated malt backbone. A subtle herbaceous character emerges alongside the fruit, with no yeast esters or phenolics clouding the picture; the overall impression is crisp and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate enters lean and refreshing, with a light malt sweetness that quickly gives way to a moderate, well-integrated bitter finish. The citrus character from the nose carries through the mid-palate, balanced by a dry, slightly resinous hop bite that builds toward the swallow without overwhelming the beer's delicate frame.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
