Heaps

◎ Appearance

Pale gold with excellent clarity and bright translucency. A dense, white head forms on the pour with fine bubbles that persist well, leaving delicate lacing on the glass as you drink. Carbonation is assertive, visible as a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent stone fruit character — ripe peach and apricot dominate, supported by subtle marmalade sweetness. New Zealand hops contribute a gentle citrus edge with lemon zest notes. The aromatic profile is clean and fresh, with no oxidative or off-notes; a delicate floral quality rounds out the ensemble.

◐ Taste

The palate strikes a balance between fruit-forward hop character and restrained malt sweetness. Peach and apricot flavours persist from nose to mid-palate, accompanied by a subtle marmalade undertone and bright lemon zest. Bitterness arrives cleanly in the mid-palate with a floral quality, finishing dry without harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a clean, dry aftertaste. Noble hop bitterness fades gradually, leaving a pleasant floral impression on the palate that encourages another sip.
