◌ Aroma

Fresh-cut grass and bright citrus dominate the nose, driven by Chinook, Mosaic and Citra hops working in balance. Underlying notes of pilsner malt provide a soft, neutral foundation without sweetness. The hop character is clean and green rather than resinous or pithy.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and dry, with grassy and citrus notes immediately prominent. Mid-palate reveals gentle malt sweetness from CaraHell and Vienna malts, providing body without heaviness. Moderate bitterness (40 IBU) arrives mid-sip and persists through the finish without dominating; the overall impression is balanced and refreshing.
