◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright sour cherry and tart red currant, balanced by a light, delicate malt foundation that does not compete. Subtle esters and a touch of stone fruit emerge on the second nose, with no hop character to interfere—the fruit remains the clear focus throughout.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and immediately tart, with sour cherry and red currant providing structure and depth. The mid-palate remains juicy and refreshing, the light malt base allowing the acidity to shine without harshness, and the minimal bitterness (10 IBU) sits far back, framing rather than dominating.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and lingering, with the tartness fading gradually into a dry, refreshing aftertaste. Summery fruit notes persist lightly on the palate, leaving a pleasant, thirst-quenching impression.
