DirtWolf

◎ Appearance

DirtWolf displays a golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. The head is dense and off-white, clinging to the glass with persistent lacing. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by bright citrus—primarily grapefruit and orange zest—layered with herbaceous pine and earthy undertones from aggressive dry-hopping. A subtle resinous character emerges beneath, with hints of forest floor and green undergrowth. The Pilsner and pale crystal malt base adds gentle toasted grain in the background.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with bold, assertive bitterness balanced by juicy citrus character from the four-hop blend. Mid-palate develops pronounced resinous and piney notes with a mineral, earthy foundation that grounds the aggressive hopping. The malt provides modest sweetness and toasted grain, though it remains deliberately restrained to allow hop expression to dominate. Alcohol warmth becomes noticeable at 8.7% ABV but remains integrated.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with bitterness persisting long into the aftertaste. Resinous, piney, and earthy notes fade slowly, leaving a clean, herb-tinged dryness on the palate.
