◌ Aroma
The nose is immediately assertive with prominent pine and citrus hop character that commands attention. Resinous, herbal notes dominate with subtle grapefruit zest and a touch of clean malt backbone providing balance without sweetness.
◐ Taste
Entry delivers bold hop bitterness that builds throughout the palate with intense pine and grapefruit flavors. Mid-palate showcases crisp, resinous hop character balanced by a full-bodied malt foundation, leading to an aggressive, dry finish with substantial lingering bitterness.
◑ Finish
The finish is exceptionally dry with lingering resinous bitterness that persists long after swallowing. Clean aftertaste with sustained hop character makes this a quintessential assertive IPA experience.
