◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, slightly sweet malt foundation featuring caramel and breadiness that carries through the mid-palate. The light body and 20 IBUs provide just enough mild bitterness to maintain balance without asserting hop character. The finish is clean and uncomplicated, with the sweetness and grain notes resolving smoothly.
