◌ Aroma

The nose is delicate and clean, with a light grainy character from the base malt. A subtle herbal and floral note emerges from the noble hops, contributing a gentle bitterness signature without any aggressive aromatics. The overall impression is restrained and well-balanced, with no yeast-driven esters or off-notes.

Mid-palate remains dry and refreshing, with the 21 IBU providing a balanced, refined bitterness that never overwhelms.
