Tasting Notes
Nose
Vibrant and aromatic, the nose exudes citrus brightness with grapefruit zest and sunlit rind. Hops rise with resinous, leafy herbal notes, weaving through subtle malt sweetness. A fresh, slightly bitter edge hints at the IPA finish, delivering a lively, modern aroma that is green, zesty and inviting.
