◎ Appearance

Golden-amber hue with a hazy, clouded body that catches the light with an inviting glow. The thick, persistent head forms dense lacing that clings to the glass walls with each sip. Vigorous carbonation rises steadily through the body, maintaining visual liveliness throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright, layered tropical fruit — mango and pineapple lead, followed by juicy orange notes that meld into a pronounced grapefruit backdrop. Citra hops deliver a distinctive citrus punch with subtle resinous and piney undertones. The alcohol sits warmly beneath, adding complexity without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with substantial hop bitterness and vigorous citrus intensity that immediately engages the taste receptors. Mid-palate develops layers of orange and tropical fruit, balanced by the assertive IBU load of 90, which creates a drying, mouth-gripping sensation. The 9.8% ABV reveals itself as gentle warmth rather than harsh alcohol, supporting the bold hop profile without dominating the finish.

◑ Finish

A long, lingering finish dominated by grapefruit and citrus zest leaves the palate clean yet distinctly dry. Resinous and piney notes persist into the aftertaste, gradually fading into a bitter, satisfying conclusion.
