◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe stone fruit and subtle citrus notes from the tripel side, layered beneath soft woody undertones from extended oak contact. Noble hop character emerges as air enters the glass, mingling with gentle phenolic whispers from the mixed fermentation. Yeast-derived spice threads through without dominance, creating a complex, evolving bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and fruity, with the ale's inherent sweetness immediately evident before a drying oak character takes hold mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing fruit and wood to drive the flavor arc. The palate feels smooth and well-integrated, with subtle funky undertones from spontaneous fermentation adding complexity without harshness.
