◐ Taste

Entry is bright and fruity, with yellow stone fruit and citrus flavors taking center stage. The mid-palate develops berry notes and a measured bitterness that remains well-integrated rather than sharp, while the German malt base offers a light, crisp backbone without sweetness.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
