◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-amber body with a pale cream head that shows moderate retention and fine lacing. The suspended yeast and hop particles create a soft, opaque appearance characteristic of the style. Carbonation is lively but restrained, supporting a pillowy, full-bodied pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes from Citra and Motueka hops—fresh grapefruit zest and subtle lime pith—layered beneath a pronounced resinous character. Tropical fruit undertones emerge alongside mild pine, while the malt backbone provides a soft sweetness without adding grain-forward notes. At 10% ABV, warmth is barely perceptible on the nose.

◐ Taste

Creamy mouthfeel enters with candied sweetness balanced against a sustained resinous bitterness derived from Simcoe and the dry-hopping regime. Mid-palate offers juicy stone fruit and citrus flesh rather than sharp acidity, while the alcohol remains well-integrated despite the high ABV. Finish builds gradually toward moderate bitterness without harshness, allowing the hop character to linger cleanly.

◑ Finish

Moderate-length finish with a dry, slightly astringent resinous quality and fading citrus zest. The alcohol warmth settles gently without overwhelming the palate.
