◐ Taste

Entry is soft and clean on the palate, allowing the interplay of citrus acidity, subtle resinous bitterness, and bread crust notes to develop. The balance favours drinkability over aggressive bittering, with the 20 IBU providing gentle definition without harshness. Mid-palate remains fragrant and well-integrated.
