The nose leads with assertive tropical stone fruit—ripe pineapple and mango dominate, complemented by hints of citrus zest from the Galaxy and Sabro hops.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers juicy tropical fruit on entry—pineapple and mango lead with immediate intensity. Mid-palate showcases a full, slightly creamy mouthfeel from the oats and wheat, balancing the hop-driven fruit with gentle stone fruit and subtle citrus notes. Bitterness surfaces at moderate levels (33 IBU), providing structural support without overshadowing the fruit-forward character; the finish carries a touch of herbal spice from Chinook and Pahto hops.
