Haunt

◎ Appearance

Haunt displays a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, lustrous quality. The head is persistent and well-structured, leaving fine lacing along the glass as it recedes. Carbonation is crisp and visible, contributing to an overall fresh and inviting presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright mandarin and ripe peach notes, immediately grounded by the signature grapefruit character from Deep Cut Cascade. Nelson, Mosaic, and Nectaron hops layer in additional citrus complexity and a subtle resinous undertone. The overall impression is clean and vibrant, with no yeast-driven esters—the focus remains entirely on hop expression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced citrus sweetness—mandarin and peach dominate the mid-palate before transitioning into a broad grapefruit bitterness. The resinous quality adds textural depth and slight dryness, while a light piney note lingers beneath. The 60 IBU level is well-balanced, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and moderately dry, with lingering grapefruit bitterness and a hint of pine that extends into the aftertaste. Bitterness fades gradually rather than sharply, leaving the palate clean and inviting another sip.
