The nose opens with soft, sweet malt character — toasted grain and gentle caramel notes dominate. Beneath lies a subtle herbal quality from noble hops, without sharp assertiveness. A faint bready warmth suggests clean fermentation and balanced noble hop integration.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with pronounced malt sweetness balanced by restrained bitterness. Mid-palate carries caramel and toasted grain depth, while the 35 IBUs provide gentle structure without dominating. Alcohol warmth is present but integrated, lending richness rather than harshness.
