◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by resinous and piney hop character, with prominent Chinook and Eclipse notes providing earthy depth. Subtle citrus undertones from El Dorado emerge beneath the herbal foundation, while the Malz contributes a clean, supportive backbone without sweetness. The overall impression is assertively aromatic without being cloying.

◐ Taste

Bitterness takes center stage immediately on entry, with a pronounced and well-integrated hop bite that defines the palate. Mid-palate brings earthy, woody resinous flavors alongside subtle pine and a faint citrus lift, while the dry character prevents any residual sweetness from softening the attack. The finish leans lean and crisp, with lingering herbal and mineral notes.

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.
