◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with a subtle malt sweetness that quickly yields to assertive noble hop bitterness. The mid-palate remains dry and refreshing without heaviness, allowing the hop bitterness to develop cleanly through the finish. At 2.9% ABV and only 8 IBU, the bitterness registers with surprising definition, demonstrating precise brewing technique.
