Azvex - Surveillance Charlie, IPA, 6.2%

Surveillance Charlie is built to showcase Citra in full flight. Bright citrus bursts of lemon, lime and orange lead the charge, followed by ripe mango, soft peach and a touch of passionfruit. A subtle pithy edge and light herbal lift keep it snappy, while the smooth malt base lets the hop shine from start to finish. An all-Citra banger with clarity and impact.

Named after a prototype autonomous scan unit known as “Charlie,” built for high-precision environmental monitoring. Its purpose was simple: identify key signals and isolate them with accuracy.

The name pulls from the world of future-proofing and long-game problem solving, where information or ideas are stored now with the expectation that their full meaning will only unlock later. We liked the parallel with this hop combo: punchy up front, but revealing more depth as it opens up, as if each sip decrypts another layer.
