◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced malt complexity—Munich and Vienna malts contribute soft bread and biscuit notes, while Carared and Caramunich II introduce caramel sweetness and subtle roasted tones. Noble hops from Žatecký poloraný červeňák and Sládek add a restrained herbal and slightly floral character, creating a balanced, inviting bouquet without aggressive hop bite.

◐ Taste

The palate opens malty and full-bodied, with caramel and soft bread flavours anchoring the mid-palate. Roasted malt undertones and hints of dark fruit emerge gently, while noble hops provide a delicate herbal structure and moderate bitterness (36 IBU) that integrates smoothly rather than dominates. The finish remains clean and crisp, with a slight roasted edge lingering on the tongue.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, fading gracefully with lingering caramel and a subtle roasted aftertaste. A refreshing crispness emerges on the palate, balancing the beer's malt-forward character and inviting another sip.
