Taste

The palate opens with crisp citrus and tropical fruit flavors that develop into pronounced piney, resinous notes on the mid-palate. A firm, well-integrated 65 IBU bitterness builds steadily without harshness, supported by a clean, understated malt foundation that prevents any cloying sweetness.
