Aroma

The nose is dominated by vibrant blood orange citrus with a subtle tartness that's immediately appealing and contemporary. Underneath, wheat grain provides a light, grainy foundation, while a gentle salinity adds complexity without overwhelming. The aromatic profile is clean and refreshing, with no harsh phenolic or yeasty notes detracting from the fruit-forward character.

Taste

The palate opens with a bright, mouth-puckering tartness that perfectly complements the blood orange character, delivering authentic citrus flavors without artificial sweetness. The subtle salt presence enhances the overall complexity and thirst-quenching quality, while the light body remains crisp and effervescent on the mid-palate. Bitterness is minimal at 12 IBU, allowing the fruit and sour elements to shine without any harsh edge.
