◐ Taste

The palate entry is crisp and refreshing, with citrus flavours dominating the mid-palate alongside a measured, clean bitterness that builds gradually. The light body and dry finish prevent any heaviness, while subtle fruity and floral notes add complexity without obscuring the straightforward hop-driven character the brewer intended.
