◐ Taste

The palate enters crisp and clean, with a light grain sweetness and delicate bready undertones that provide structure without heaviness. The Hallertau Blanc whirlpool addition delivers subtle fruity and floral character mid-palate, while 22 IBUs provide a restrained, balanced bitterness that finishes dry without astringency. The flavor profile remains refreshing and sessionable throughout.
