◐ Taste

The palate opens with a juicy, fruit-forward entry that emphasizes stone fruit and citrus, delivering the freshness promised by the brewery. A moderate 40 IBU bitterness arrives mid-palate with restraint, framing the fruit without dominating, and the low alcohol allows the malt sweetness to remain delicate and balanced rather than cloying.
