Fresh grassy and herbal notes dominate the nose, backed by a subtle fruitiness that suggests ripe stone fruit. The El Dorado and Mosaic hops deliver a clean, herbaceous character with light citrus undertones. A gentle bready maltiness rounds out the bouquet without overwhelming the hop profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp hop bitterness that carries through cleanly, complemented by a malty sweetness from the Pilsner and Best Ale base. Mid-palate develops a pleasant fruitiness and subtle biscuity character from the Cara 60, while the acid malt adds a dry spine. The bitterness lingers with precision without harshness, leaving the finish dry and refreshing.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
