◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy malt sweetness—noble grain character rather than roasted depth. Subtle noble hop notes provide a gentle floral backdrop without asserting themselves, allowing the malt foundation to remain central. A clean, neutral fermentation character supports the composition without adding fruity or spicy notes.
