Whale Sharks

◎ Appearance

Whale Sharks presents a hazy, deep golden amber that catches the light with warmth and depth. A soft, pillowy white head forms generously and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. The haze speaks to the unfiltered nature of the brew, adding visual texture that signals the hop-forward character within.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with an ocean of ripe tropical fruit—mango, papaya, and passion fruit dominate the bouquet. Fresh pine resin and light citrus zest layer beneath, creating a bright, multi-faceted aromatic profile. The hop presence is assertive yet balanced, with no harsh alcohol burn despite the beer's 8.4% ABV.

◐ Taste

The palate reveals a full, luscious body with a smooth, almost creamy texture that carries the tropical hop character with ease. Tropical fruit and citrus notes persist on entry and mid-palate, while bitterness builds gently but assertively through the center. The balance between sweetness and resinous bite is purposeful and well-calibrated, never veering into astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and resinous, leaving a warming, lingering tropical and dank hop glow on the palate. Satisfaction builds as the initial fruit fades into a dry, herbal aftertaste that invites another sip.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
