Fresh raspberry dominates the nose, supported by subtle floral notes and a light herbal undertone. The fruit character is bright and immediate, without cloying sweetness. A soft malty backdrop emerges on the second pass, adding warmth and structure to the bouquet.

◐ Taste

Tart red fruit leads on the palate, with the natural acidity of raspberry providing immediate balance against a rounded, biscuity malt foundation. Mid-palate develops gentle floral and herbal notes that enhance complexity without overwhelming the fruit. Bitterness remains restrained at 10 IBU, allowing tartness to serve as the primary counterpoint.
