◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh blueberry, bright and jammy without cloying sweetness, followed by a gentle toasty grain note from the pilsner and wheat Malz. German Perle hops contribute a soft, herbal undertone that keeps the fruit grounded. A light bready character from the wheat and lager yeast rounds out the profile.

◐ Taste

On entry, the palate meets crisp fruit and a clean, slightly sweet grain base that balances the subtle Edelhopfen bitterness. The mid-palate is smooth and refreshing, with berry juice playing off toasty Malz notes without overwhelming the base beer. The finish is dry and clean, with modest bitterness and lingering blueberry that gradually fades.
