◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with the wheat malt foundation providing a gentle, clean sweetness that grounds the palate. Mid-palate develops a pronounced tartness and subtle salinity that define the Gose character, while coriander adds herbal complexity and a light citrus brightness. The bitterness remains restrained at 10 IBU, allowing the sour and saline notes to dominate without aggressive edge.
