◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp wheat foundation that carries the promised orange zest and herbaceous spice through the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained at 18 IBU, allowing the citrus and botanical elements to shine without dominating. The finish is clean and refreshing, with no heavy sweetness or astringency.
