◌ Aroma

The nose leads with refined noble hops—Hallertauer and Tettnanger deliver subtle herbal and floral notes without aggression.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with gentle sweetness that frames a malty, bread-forward core. Mid-palate remains smooth and rounded, with the Edelhopfen providing restrained, clean bitterness (20 IBU) that complements rather than challenges. The malt sweetness persists subtly throughout, creating an approachable, easy-drinking character.
