Aroma

The nose is delicate and approachable, showcasing subtle grainy and bready malt notes with a whisper of citrus undertones. Light hop aromas provide gentle floral and herbal character without overwhelming the clean, grain-forward profile.

Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing with a light, clean malt sweetness that drives the palate. Mid-palate reveals subtle bread and grain characteristics with gentle citrus notes, leading to a soft, restrained bitterness (15 IBU) that feels balanced rather than assertive.
