◐ Taste

Entry is light and crisp, with a lean body that reflects the modest ABV. Mid-palate reveals a touch of toasted malt sweetness and roasted grain depth, balanced by moderate bitterness from classic Edelhopfen that remains understated. The finish is dry and clean, leaving minimal residual sweetness.
