Aroma

The nose is dominated by bold American hop character with pronounced citrus and pine notes that immediately assert themselves. Resinous and herbal undertones complement the primary hop profile, while the malt backbone provides subtle sweetness without overpowering the aggressive aromatics.

Taste

The palate opens with a strong malt foundation that balances the full-bodied character before yielding to assertive hop bitterness. Grapefruit and citrus flavors dominate the mid-palate with a distinctive resinous quality, while the 60 IBU bitterness builds progressively and intensifies toward the finish.

Finish

The finish is crisp and decidedly dry, leaving a lingering bitterness and resinous pine character that extends well into the aftertaste. This drying quality showcases traditional hop-forward brewing philosophy and encourages repeated sips.
