◌ Aroma

Honey leads immediately on the nose—a sweet, floral character from the organic blossom honey that deepens with each inhalation. Behind it, a soft malty foundation emerges, touched by subtle herbal and grassy notes from the Mühlviertel hops, with no sharp edges.

◐ Taste

The honey note intensifies on entry, building through the mid-palate with a pleasant malt backbone that adds breadth without heaviness. A moderate, clean bitterness from the 28 IBU arrives mid-palate and resolves smoothly, allowing the honey and delicate caramel undertones to linger without cloying.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with a lingering honey note that fades to dry, crisp minerals. The aftertaste remains clean and inviting, with no residual sweetness.
