◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinct passionfruit and orange notes, supported by subtle floral undertones from the American and Slovenian hops alongside British varieties. Underneath, light pale malt provides a soft, biscuity foundation without heaviness. The overall aromatic profile is clean and inviting, with no harsh or vegetal edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with tropical fruit flavours—orange and stone fruit—integrated seamlessly with a malty sweetness that feels balanced rather than cloying. Mid-palate shows gentle noble hop bitterness at 20 IBU, providing structure without dominating. A light roasted grain character adds subtle complexity without obscuring the beer's primary fruit-forward character.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and refreshing, with a clean dry fade that invites another sip. The aftertaste echoes the orange and tropical notes, fading to a pleasant, residual malt sweetness.
