◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit notes, layered beneath soft floral and herbal aromatics from the coriander and cumin additions. Delicate wheat and oat character provides a gentle cereal backbone, while subtle spice notes—both from the botanicals and warm fermentation—add complexity without dominating the bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and fruity, with immediate notes of orange zest and white peach dancing alongside a light, refined malt sweetness. Mid-palate reveals the grain bill's subtlety: soft wheat character, oat smoothness, and gentle rye spice weave through without heaviness. Bitterness is restrained at 35 IBU, allowing the botanical seasoning and fruit to remain in focus, finishing with a dry, slightly peppery note.

◑ Finish

Medium-length, clean, and refreshing finish with lingering floral and spice impressions that gradually fade. The 6.5% alcohol sits comfortably in the background, supporting rather than asserting itself.
