◌ Aroma

Aromatic complexity opens with prominent clove and banana esters typical of the style, layered beneath roasted malt and caramel notes. The wheat base provides soft grain undertones that balance the spice and stone fruit impressions. No hop aroma is perceptible; the focus remains on yeast-derived and malt character.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers immediate clove and banana notes on the entry, followed by substantial roasted malt and caramel depth in the mid-palate. Wheat character provides a soft, slightly grainy foundation with pleasant residual sweetness. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing malt and yeast complexity to dominate without harshness.
