Sundae Scoops

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a soft, hazy veil throughout, characteristic of the style. The head rises quickly with fine, persistent foam that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. Carbonation appears lively, with steady streams of tiny bubbles rising through the cloudy body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—orange and grapefruit from the Citra hops—layered beneath creamy vanilla from Madagascar vanilla bean conditioning. Tropical stone fruit and honeydew melon emerge in the mid-range, while a subtle floral character provides balance. The overall impression is dessert-like and inviting, with no harsh hop bite on the nose.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and smooth, opening with vanilla custard and orange sherbet notes that coat the mouth pleasantly. Tropical fruit—mango and strawberry—arrives mid-palate with juicy, refreshing character, supported by the honeydew sweetness. Moderate hop bitterness (50 IBU) surfaces gently on the finish without dominating, allowing the creamy, sweet backbone to remain the focal point.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and lingering, with vanilla and citrus notes fading gracefully into a faintly sweet aftertaste. No harsh astringency or lingering harshness; instead, a creamy mouthfeel persists, inviting another sip.
