◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, malt-forward character and a distinct caramel sweetness that builds through the mid-palate. Noble hop spice provides a gentle counterpoint, keeping the beer from becoming cloying, while a light crispness and subtle dry note emerge on the finish. The 22 IBU sits comfortably in balance, never aggressive, and the 5.5% ABV allows the malt profile to shine.
