hopIQ take

Very dry and assertively bitter.

The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Appearance

Pale golden with excellent clarity and a bright, luminous quality. The head forms quickly and persists with fine retention, leaving delicate lacing on the glass. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated throughout.

Aroma

The nose opens with assertive noble hop character—earthy and herbaceous notes mingle with subtle floral complexity. Beneath lies a solid malt foundation that grounds the profile without obscuring the hop-forward character. Pine and citrus notes emerge as the beer warms.

Taste

The palate arrives full-bodied and balanced, with a generous malt sweetness that supports rather than masks the hop intensity. Bitterness builds through the mid-palate in a structured, measured progression—earthy and herbal rather than sharp. Residual dryness and subtle citrus keep the beer refreshing despite its weight.
