◐ Taste

The palate opens light and delicate, with the elderflower and fruity character establishing themselves immediately. Barley malt provides a subtle, clean backbone without heaviness, while the moderate bitterness (28 IBU) creates gentle structure and prevent cloying. The mid-palate remains crisp and refreshing, with a dry quality that invites another sip.
