Catching Rays

Tasting Notes pours a hazy, pale gold, reminiscent of a sunbeam through a morning mist. An initial wave of classic American hops hits first: bright pink grapefruit from the Centennial and a distinct, sappy pine note from the Simcoe. This is immediately softened by the more modern hops; Cashmere lends a gentle note of cantaloupe melon and lemon-lime, while the Wai-iti contributes a delicate whisper of fresh apricot and peach skin. Beneath it all, there’s a subtle, clean graininess from the malt base.
