Countercurrent (Palm Trees)
BKS Artisan Ales

Pours a foggy straw color with two fingers of white foam. Aroma is light tropical fruits with orange zest, grassy, and light herbal and resiny hops. It leans sweet, with just a little of stickiness at the back to shift it towards balance. Flavor profile is tropical fruits, orange zest, lemon, grassy, and herbal hops. Leans much more heavily into the tropical fruits, with those more forest-like notes coming on stronger at the finish. Bready and caramelly malts add a little bit more base and balance, but the storyline is still hops. Finish is very lightly dry. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a soft crispness that, together, evokes a velvety texture. Overall, punchy hops with a lightly dry finish to wrap it up. It leans sweet, but not overly so.

Served in a 15.5oz Speigalau tulip from a 16oz can.
