◌ Aroma

The nose leads with noble-hop character—restrained but noble, with subtle herbaceous and floral notes. Supporting this are clean malty tones with a light bready quality that speaks to careful grain selection. The overall impression is one of elegant simplicity, free from adjunct or yeast-driven esters.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with the malty foundation establishing itself immediately on the palate. Mid-palate shows balanced bready sweetness alongside a measured noble-hop bitterness—22 IBU delivers restraint rather than dominance. The finish develops a gentle, lingering bitter note that complements rather than overwhelms the smooth-drinking character.
