Sensory Description:

The palate delivers layers of pithy citrus, peach, papaya, and subtle resinous cannabis-like hop character, supported by a remarkably clean, dry malt backbone. Firm, structured bitterness carries the fruit-forward flavors through a long, crisp finish, creating an IPA that is both intensely aromatic and exceptionally balanced.
