◐ Taste

The palate enters with balanced sweetness and restrained body, allowing the four primary fruits to develop clearly. Mid-palate shows good integration of peach and pineapple notes alongside the mango and passion fruit. A moderate, clean bitterness from the 30 IBU provides dryness and prevents palate fatigue, finishing with subtle hop character.
