◌ Aroma

Stone fruit dominates the nose, with peach aromatics presenting in the foreground as both fresh and juicy notes. Subtle wheat grain and a light bready character emerge beneath, while soft phenolic notes from the yeast add gentle complexity without overwhelming the fruit expression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with prominent peach flavor, delivering a smooth, fruity experience that carries through the mid-palate. Wheat malt provides a light, slightly grainy backbone with gentle breadiness, while noble hop bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing the fruit to remain the focal point. The mouthfeel is refreshing and easy-drinking despite the fruit intensity.
