The Sect

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-orange in the glass with a pale, fluffy head that disperses slowly. The cloudiness from the oat malt and yeast suspension creates a soft, diffuse appearance. Moderate carbonation produces fine bubbles that rise steadily through the turbid body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive tropical stone fruit—ripe mango and pineapple dominate, supported by subtle citrus lift from the Rakau. Resinous undertones from El Dorado and Mosaic emerge as the beer warms, layered with a touch of grass and herbal spice. Nelson Bliss adds a gentle floral brightness that frames the entire profile without overwhelming the fruit.

◐ Taste

The palate opens juicy and full, with tropical fruit flavors carrying through cleanly on entry. Mid-palate develops a measured resinous bitterness that balances the stone fruit sweetness, creating tension rather than dominance. The oat malt provides a soft, rounded body that prevents harshness, while the 65 IBU contributes structure without drying out the finish.

◑ Finish

A medium-length finish with lingering pineapple and a subtle leafy dryness. The resinous quality persists in the aftertaste without becoming astringent or fatiguing.
