Nabu

◎ Appearance

A hazy, orange-gold pour with excellent turbidity from yeast in suspension, characteristic of the style. The dense, pillowy head settles into a fine foam collar with persistent retention, leaving delicate lacing on the glass as you drink. Bright carbonation rises steadily, though the cloudiness dominates the visual profile.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe mango and tropical stone fruit, immediately warm and inviting. Bright citrus notes—particularly orange zest—layer beneath the fruit, while subtle noble hop character adds an herbal, slightly floral complexity without sharpness. Soft malt sweetness rounds out the aromatic profile, allowing fruit and hops to remain in the foreground.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and full, with mango and citrus hitting the palate immediately, echoing the aroma faithfully. Mid-palate maintains that fruit-forward character while building toward a clean, moderately bitter finish that cuts through the sweetness without harshness—the 38 IBU sits in perfect balance for the style. Subtle malt backbone supports the adjuncts without stepping into the foreground.

◑ Finish

The finish is brisk and drying, with tropical fruit lingering briefly before the hop bitterness takes hold. Aftertaste remains fruity and refreshing rather than resinous, making this an ideal warm-weather sipper.
