Ahtanum

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and lively carbonation. The foam is fine and persistent, clinging delicately to the glass as you drink. A clean, inviting pour that shows the beer's well-balanced character from the first glance.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent citrus notes—ripe grapefruit and mandarin—layered over fresh herbal and floral impressions. Ahtanum hops deliver both name and identity here, supported by the American hops from Yakima Valley that contribute subtle complexity. No heavy malt presence; instead, the focus remains on clean, crisp hop aromatics with gentle floral undertones.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and citrusy, with the grapefruit character translating seamlessly from aroma to palate. Mid-palate shows balanced herbal notes and a restrained tropical hint, while bitterness remains moderate and well-integrated—not sharp, but present enough to frame the flavors. The medium body carries these elements with crispness, allowing the hop profile to speak without heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and relatively clean, with lingering citrus and herbal dryness. No harsh aftertaste; instead, a gentle hoppy persistence that invites another sip.
