◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with pronounced haze throughout the glass, characteristic of the New England IPA style. The dense, creamy head settles to a persistent collar with fine lacing on the glass walls. Bright carbonation is evident, creating a lively, inviting visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit notes—mango and passionfruit—layered with bright citrus peel and ripe peach stone fruit. Beneath the hop-forward character lies a subtle sweetness from the oat and wheat malts, adding depth without heaviness. The aromatic profile remains clean and cohesive, with no harsh or oxidative edges.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a juicy, full-bodied experience with immediate fruit-forward impact—peach and citrus dominate the mid-palate, supported by a smooth, pillowy texture from the oat malt base. The measured bitterness (25 IBU) arrives late and restrained, providing balance without dominating. Sweetness and hop character interplay seamlessly, creating a refreshing yet satisfying mouthfeel.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately persistent, with citrus and peach notes lingering pleasantly on the palate. The bitterness fades gracefully, leaving behind a subtle sweetness and a drying sensation that invites the next sip.
