◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive piney and citrus hop flavors that build in the mid-palate, transitioning into a rich, complex hop profile with slight resinous edges. The 70 IBU bitterness is well-integrated and cuts cleanly through the full body without harshness; the 9% ABV provides warming alcohol notes without excess heat.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
