Flavor & Aroma
Copper-amber in color with a dense, off-white head. Aromas burst with citrus zest, pine resin, and floral hops, layered over caramel and biscuit malt. Flavor follows suit—bright grapefruit and pine lead the way, supported by a rich malt backbone that smooths out the assertive 65.0 IBU bitterness. Finishes crisp yet lingering, inviting another sip.
