Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright wheat grain and subtle yeasty notes characteristic of lactic fermentation. A whisper of citrus and clean fermentation esters provide lift without overwhelming the delicate profile. The aroma is refreshingly understated, inviting further exploration.

Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, refreshing tartness from lactic acid, followed by soft wheat malt sweetness in the mid-palate. The acidity is bright and well-integrated rather than sharp, with minimal bitterness (5 IBU). A smooth, effervescent mouthfeel carries the delicate flavors effortlessly.
