◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and light, with the tangerine peel providing a whisper of citrus brightness against a thin, bread-like malty foundation. Bitterness is nearly imperceptible at just 5 IBU, allowing the refreshing character to shine with smooth, dry grain notes mid-palate. The beer drinks exceptionally clean with minimal complexity, prioritizing drinkability over depth.
