You Don't Win Friends With Salad

◎ Appearance

Pours a pale golden hue with bright clarity and a fine white head that settles to a thin collar with modest lacing. Carbonation is visible and lively, creating a gentle effervescence that maintains the beer's visual liveliness throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with white grape and gooseberry from the Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin dry hop blend, underscored by a subtle tropical fruitiness. Beneath the hop character sits a soft, grainy maltz foundation with a gentle herbal and earthy edge, creating an inviting and balanced aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with white grape and grapey stone fruit flavors immediately present on the palate. Mid-palate shows a light, dry character with ripe berry undertones and moderate bitterness (35 IBU) that feels well-integrated rather than assertive. The low 3.5% ABV keeps the body lithe and drinkable, allowing the hop complexity to remain the focal point.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and short, fading with lingering grapey notes and a gentle drying sensation. Aftertaste remains pleasant and hop-forward without any harsh edges or lingering sweetness.
