◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright stone fruit and subtle citrus notes, layered with gentle spice character from noble hops and wheat malt. A clean, grainy undercurrent emerges without yeasty fermentation notes, maintaining clarity and approachability. The hop extract contributes a restrained herbal accent that does not dominate.
