◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright tropical and citrus fruit character that carries through the mid-palate with good weight and a creamy mouthfeel from the oats and wheat. Bitterness is restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the hop aromatics to dominate; a piney note emerges toward the finish without harsh bite.
