◎ Appearance

Medium gold with bright clarity and a thin, persistent white head that leaves fine lacing on the glass. Well-carbonated with active effervescence throughout. The color reflects the balance of base malts with gentle kilning.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with spicy rye notes—black pepper and grain—layered beneath floral and earthy hop character. Subtle herbal and grassy accents emerge on closer inspection, grounding the profile without overwhelming the malt backbone. Clean fermentation allows each element to register distinctly.

◐ Taste

Crisp entry with an immediate peppery bite from the rye malt establishing a dry palate. Mid-palate develops earthy and slightly floral hop bitterness—restrained at 14 IBU but textural—while the rye provides a grainy, clean foundation. The finish is bone-dry with minimal residual sweetness, allowing the spice and herbal notes to linger without cloying.

◑ Finish

Short to medium finish with the peppery spice and hop earthiness fading to a crisp, clean aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or hop burn; the beer exits the palate with refreshing dryness.
