◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, effervescent quality. The head forms quickly and maintains a fine, delicate lacing around the glass. The carbonation is crisp and visible, lending the beer an inviting, lively presence.

◌ Aroma

Nelson Sauvin, Wai-iti and Wakatu hops deliver a pronounced tropical fruit character—guava, passionfruit, and stone fruit—layered with green grape and zesty lime. A subtle spicy herbal undertone emerges on the second nose, while the rice flakes contribute a soft, clean grain backdrop without any astringency.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with tropical stone fruit and citrus, immediately smooth and approachable despite the generous hop profile. Mid-palate reveals a soft spice and subtle bitterness that evolves into lime and grapefruit notes, while the rice flakes keep the body light and clean. The 22 IBUs provide structure without harshness, allowing the hop character to remain refreshing rather than aggressive.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry, with lingering citrus and a gentle spicy warmth that fades cleanly. The low alcohol allows the aftertaste to remain bright and sessionable.
