◌ Aroma

The nose leads with resinous and earthy hop character, layered with piney and herbal notes. A moderate malted grain sweetness provides balance beneath the dominant hop profile. The aromatic intensity is forward-facing without being aggressive, inviting further inspection.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive hop bitterness and a dry, resinous mouthfeel that defines the drinking experience. The malted grain backbone provides sufficient structure to anchor the dank hop character without overwhelming sweetness. Mid-palate remains crisp and focused, with moderate alcohol warmth present but well-integrated.

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.
