Mr. Anderson, Welcome Back

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and fine carbonation visible as a steady stream of small bubbles. The white head forms quickly and maintains solid retention with delicate lacing that clings to the glass. The light SRM of 3 yields a luminous, crystalline appearance characteristic of this hop-forward style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright fruity and floral notes in equal measure, accented by herbal and piney hop character. Yellow Flower yeast contributes tropical fruit esters—stone fruit and citrus—layered beneath crushed herbs and a subtle resinous edge. Malt presence remains restrained, allowing the hop complexity and fermentation profile to dominate the olfactory profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a fruit-forward sweetness that quickly gives way to a substantial hoppy bitterness at 90 IBU. Mid-palate reveals layers of stone fruit, resinous hop oils, and a pleasant citrus bite balanced against restrained malt sweetness. The 9.5% ABV manifests as a warming alcohol presence without heat, contributing to the full-bodied mouthfeel that carries the hop character through.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and lingering, with hop bitterness and piney resin holding the palate well into the aftertaste. Tropical fruit notes fade gradually while the bitter edge persists, leaving a dry, satisfying conclusion that invites another sip.
