Light catches the beer beautifully, revealing its pale straw character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm honey and a pronounced orange citrus note that suggests both peel and juice. Beneath these adjuncts lies a soft, grainy maltz foundation with subtle wheat undertones. There is no aggressive hop character; instead, a gentle floral quality supports the overall inviting and approachable profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a malty sweetness that carries honey and wheat grain throughout. Orange character is present but restrained, integrating smoothly into the mid-palate without sharp citric edges. Bitterness is minimal at 13 IBU, remaining in the background as a gentle balancing note that prevents the beer from becoming cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively short, fading to a soft, dry sweetness that lingers gently on the palate. No harsh edges or lingering astringency; instead, a warm, honeyed aftertaste that invites another sip.
