◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent citrus notes—orange zest and lime predominate—followed by a distinctive pine resinousness. Underpinning these is a juicy, fruity character with subtle grainy malt sweetness that grounds the composition without overwhelming the hop-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a juicy, fruity entry with citrus and tropical stone fruit flavors taking the lead. Mid-palate presents a bitter-sweet balance where fruity hop character meets a clean, dry grain foundation, building toward a persistent but restrained bitterness that lingers without harshness.

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.

What is a Alcohol-Free IPA?
