◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical stone fruit — prominent pineapple and peach notes courtesy of the Nectaron hops, layered with bright citrus undertones. Beneath the hop character lies a soft, supporting malt base that adds warmth without obscuring the fruit-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens smooth and approachable, with the tropical and citrus character from the Nectaron hops carrying through cleanly. A balanced bitterness emerges in the mid-palate, contributing structure without harshness, while the malt foundation remains soft and unobtrusive, allowing the hop character to remain the focal point.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
