◎ Appearance

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with honeyed malt sweetness, supported by gentle citrus and floral notes that emerge from a thoughtful hop selection. There is no aggressive bittering character in the aroma—instead, a soft, inviting warmth suggests delicate noble hops or a light floral blend. The overall impression is clean and approachable, with the honey component providing a subtle, natural sweetness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, slightly sweet malt foundation that carries distinct honey character without cloying. Mid-palate reveals balanced citrus-floral notes that brighten the body, while the 28 IBUs provide a restrained, non-aggressive bitterness that sits in the background. The creamy mouthfeel and light alcohol presence (5.5% ABV) make this beer remarkably easy to drink.
