◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes from the Sorachi Ace hop, accompanied by a distinctive lemon-dill character that signals the beer's expressive aromatic profile. Herbal and piney undertones emerge from Magnum and Summit, supported by subtle caramel malt sweetness in the background. The overall impression is crisp and herbaceous, with no harsh solvent notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive hoppy bitterness balanced by the caramel malt sweetness, creating a measured entry that is neither aggressive nor muted. Mid-palate development brings forward piney and herbal dimensions alongside the lemon-dill signature, with a clean, dry character throughout. The 60 IBU baseline provides sufficient bite without dominating the nuanced hop expression.
