Say Hello To My Little Friend

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A dense, white head forms on pour and displays firm adhesion to the glass walls, fading to a thin persistent collar. Carbonation is lively and sustained throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent peach and orange citrus notes, driven by the HBC 1019 and Oregon Comet hop varieties. Beneath the fruit lies a clean, resinous character with subtle herbal undertones. No detectable malt sweetness or yeast-derived esters; the profile remains bright and immediately hop-forward.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and citrus-driven, with peach and orange flavors establishing dominance across the mid-palate. The beer dries steadily, shedding any residual sweetness and building a moderate bitter edge that complements the fruit rather than overwhelming it. Clean malt backbone supports without asserting itself, allowing the hop profile to remain central.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and notably dry, with lingering citrus and hop bitterness tapering gradually. No harshness or astringency; the aftertaste remains refreshing and leaves the palate ready for the next sip.
