Reckoner

◎ Appearance

Reckoner presents a pale golden hue with slight haziness characteristic of a dry-hopped IPA. The head retention is moderate, settling into a thin, persistent collar. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated, supporting the beer's approachability despite its resinous character.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by tropical stone fruit—sticky pineapple and passionfruit provide the primary sensory direction. Beneath this sits a clear resinous hop character with earthy undertones and a subtle dankness. A whisper of white grape and noble hop spice emerges on closer inspection, while the pale malt and oat-wheat foundation remain appropriately restrained.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and fruit-forward, with pineapple and passionfruit dominating the mid-palate. A structured bitterness arrives without aggression—the 60 IBU whirlpool addition provides definition rather than harshness. The oat and wheat contribute a subtle sweetness and body that balances the hop resin, while a gentle spiced quality lingers through to the swallow.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium in length, with residual resin and a fading stone-fruit note persisting on the palate. A dry, slightly peppery quality from the hop spice rounds out the experience without harsh astringency.
