◐ Taste

Entry is light and crisp, with citrus flavors developing immediately across the palate, delivering grapefruit and orange notes with genuine vibrancy. The mid-palate remains lean, allowing the Edelhopfen character to assert a moderate, clean bitterness that integrates seamlessly rather than dominates. A subtle pale Malz sweetness provides ballast without heaviness, maintaining the beer's delicate equilibrium.
