Hopical Storm

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. The head forms quickly and maintains a fine white collar with good retention. Lively carbonation is evident throughout, with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit and tropical notes—mango, passion fruit, and lychee dominate. Beneath the fruit sits a subtle, biscuity malt foundation. The triple-hop additions create a bright, welcoming bouquet without sharp herbaceousness, allowing the citrus and stone fruit to come forward.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and juicy with mandarin and melon taking the lead, followed by a lime zest accent. The malt provides a light, sandy base that doesn't weigh the beer down. Bitterness arrives as a measured counterpoint—40 IBU integrated cleanly—and balances the fruit without dominating, creating an easy and refreshing drinking experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and quick, with the citrus notes lingering briefly. A slight mineral dryness closes the palate, leaving no heaviness behind.
