◌ Aroma

Citrus and tropical fruit lead the nose, with prominent notes of candied orange and pineapple sherbet. A clean, herbal piney character emerges beneath, supported by a subtle spicy undertone from the rye. The hop profile is assertive yet balanced, inviting and fresh.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy, bright stone fruit and citrus that builds through the mid-palate into a structured, clean bitterness. A touch of rye grain adds subtle spice and texture without heaviness. The light body keeps everything crisp and refreshing, with the hop bitterness remaining dry and piney rather than aggressive.

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.
