Moral Codes

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with light amber undertones, presenting a bright and transparent body characteristic of the West Coast style. The head forms with moderate density and displays good retention, leaving fine lacing around the glass. Carbonation appears crisp and well-integrated throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced citrus notes—grapefruit and orange peel—layered beneath resinous pine and fresh herbal tones from the Simcoe and Centennial hops. A subtle earthy spice emerges underneath, with modest malty sweetness providing backbone without dominating the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright, sticky citrus and a wave of piney bitterness that evolves across the mid-palate into deeper herbal and resinous character. The supporting malt base—present but restrained—offers just enough sweetness and body to balance the assertive hop bill, while the 60 IBU bitterness builds gradually rather than striking hard at entry.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with resinous hop character persisting well into the aftertaste. A gentle warmth from the 8.5% ABV emerges without harsh alcohol notes, leaving the palate cleansed by pine and subtle citrus fade.
