◌ Aroma

The nose presents restrained noble hop character with hints of grass and subtle herbal notes. Soft malt undertones emerge beneath, offering a light grain and bread crust quality. The overall impression is clean and refreshing, with no yeast-driven esters or off-aromas, reflecting the beer's traditional lager production.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, straightforward malt backbone and light grain sweetness that carries through the mid-palate without heaviness. Noble hop bitterness integrates smoothly at 22 IBU, providing balance rather than assertiveness. The finish is dry and clean, with minimal residual sweetness, allowing the delicate hop character to emerge in the aftertaste.
