◐ Taste

The palate opens with refreshing citrus and a crisp, dry structure that carries through the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness from noble hops builds gradually, finishing with a clean, mineral quality that leaves no cloying aftertaste. The malt backbone is restrained but present, allowing hop character to remain in focus.
