◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright blueberry and ripe berry character, complemented by subtle vanilla and a whisper of cinnamon spice. Underlying the fruit sits a gentle lactose sweetness that rounds the aromatic profile. No harsh or vinegary notes; the sourness is restrained and plays a supporting role to the dessert-like impressions.

◐ Taste

Entry is tart and fruity, with blueberry puree delivering immediate berry character balanced by a light lactose creaminess. Mid-palate develops vanilla alongside a gentle sour bite, neither aggressive nor thin. Cinnamon emerges mid-sip and carries into the finish, adding warmth without heat, while the low IBU (10) ensures no hop bitterness competes with the dessert character.
