◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by tropical stone fruit and citrus notes—mango, passionfruit, and pear emerge distinctly over a soft caramel malt foundation. English and American hops contribute a clean, herbal character that frames rather than overwhelms the fruit-forward profile. The overall impression is approachable and inviting, with no harsh or metallic edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and slightly sweet, with the caramel malt providing a gentle body that supports the fruity notes. The mid-palate balances tropical fruit intensity against a restrained, measured bitterness that builds steadily without becoming aggressive. The hop character remains in the background, allowing the interplay of fruit and malt sweetness to dominate.
