◐ Taste

Full-bodied and malty on entry, with the brewing rice adding a smooth, elegant texture that prevents heaviness. Noble hop bitterness (25 IBU) integrates seamlessly with the malt backbone, creating a balanced progression. Mid-palate shows sustained richness with caramel notes and a warming alcohol presence that never becomes harsh.
