◌ Aroma

◐ Taste

The palate enters with bright pineapple sweetness balanced by a lean, crisp Malz base that keeps the beer from becoming cloying. Mid-palate develops a clean, herbal bitterness from Nectaron and the 40 IBU backbone, creating a pleasant interplay between fruit and bite. The finish remains dry and refreshing, with the bitterness gaining gentle prominence.
