◐ Taste

The palate opens with biscuit and bread crust notes that ground the beer in a gentle malt sweetness. A fruity, resinous hop character develops through the mid-palate, maintaining the tropical and citrus impressions introduced on the nose. The 38 IBU provides moderate bitterness that is well-integrated rather than assertive, allowing both malt and hop elements to coexist harmoniously.
