◌ Aroma
The nose is immediately dominated by vibrant Lemondrop hop character, delivering a vivid citrus profile with prominent lemon notes and subtle grapefruit undertones. Supporting aromas of pine resin and clean grain provide balance without overwhelming the fruit-forward presentation.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with crisp, hoppy character that transitions smoothly into a symphony of citrus flavors—lemon and grapefruit lead the charge. The bitterness is assertive yet well-integrated at 65 IBUs, with a dry mid-palate and subtle resinous notes that add complexity without harshness.
◑ Finish
The finish is remarkably clean and drying, with lingering citrus notes that fade gracefully without any cloying aftertaste. The gluten-reduced formulation allows for excellent drinkability, making this a supremely food-friendly finale.
