◐ Taste

Entry is smooth with a soft body that avoids astringency despite the 38 IBU bitterness. The mid-palate balances restrained malt sweetness with assertive yet refined hop bitterness and resinous flavors. The modest 4.7% ABV keeps the beer sessionable and lets the hop character speak without warming alcohol notes.
