◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft, malty sweetness and pronounced caramel notes that build through the mid-palate. Roasted grain and bready character provide structure without heaviness, while the body remains smooth and full. Bitterness is gentle and supportive at 22 IBU, finishing with a clean, dry impression that cuts through the malt sweetness.
