Tasting Notes
Expect aromas of orange, tangerine, and grapefruit with a hint of tropical mango. The palate brings juicy citrus and a touch of stone fruit, framed by resinous pine and a gentle grassy, herbal hop note. The finish is pleasantly bitter and clean, refreshing rather than aggressive. It is aromatic, citrus-forward, and easy to keep drinking.
