◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent earthy grain notes from the organic Malz, grounded and mineral-forward. A subtle stone-fruit character emerges—peach and rhubarb—alongside fresh hazelnut and a whisper of pepper, all in harmonious balance. The Tettnang Tradition and Aroma hops contribute restrained herbal complexity without dominating the malt foundation.

◐ Taste

Entry reveals a clean, malty sweetness with pronounced grain character and a subtle nutty undertone. The mid-palate maintains softness and smoothness while a light, lightly peppery spice emerges mid-way through, lending structure without aggression. The slim body and low bitterness (20 IBU) allow the malt and subtle fruit notes to shine, creating a refreshing, easy-drinking profile that remains crisp throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and short, with lingering malty notes and a whisper of pepper fading cleanly into the aftertaste. A mild bready quality persists briefly, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
