Sequoia

◎ Appearance

Sequoia presents a deep red hue that catches light with translucent clarity, settling beneath a sturdy white foam head. The carbonation is brisk and visible, with fine bubbles supporting good foam retention that clings to the glass in distinct bands as the beer recedes.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant orange citrus and sparkling grapefruit notes, immediately followed by pronounced piney resin that frames the hop profile. Beneath this aromatic top layer, caramel and toffee sweetness emerge with subtle depth, creating a multidimensional balance between bright citrus and warm malt character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with aggressive hop character—citrus, pine, and resinous bitterness dominate the entry and mid-palate. Rich caramel and toffee notes provide a substantial counterpoint, preventing the 60 IBUs from overwhelming the palate; this interplay creates complexity and ensures the beer remains approachable despite its assertive bittering.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with residual pine and citrus bitterness extending into the aftertaste. Traces of caramel fade gradually, leaving a clean, resinous impression on the palate.
