◐ Taste

Entry brings warm caramel and dark fruit flavors that establish the malt foundation. The mid-palate transitions smoothly to crisp grapefruit and orange peel hop notes, with a resinous, piney quality adding depth and structure. Moderate bitterness builds progressively, balancing the initial sweetness without becoming harsh or astringent.
