• Flavor: The flavor follows the aroma with a prominent hop bitterness balanced by a subtle malt sweetness. You’ll likely find notes of grapefruit, pine, and tropical fruit, with a clean and refreshing character.
• Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with a smooth texture and moderate carbonation that contributes to its drinkability.
• Finish: The finish is typically clean and dry with a lingering hop bitterness and aromatic hop notes, leaving you ready for another refreshing sip.
