◐ Taste

The palate enters light and crisp, with gentle malt sweetness providing structure without weight. Mid-palate develops a soft noble-hop bitterness that remains refined and proportionate, never harsh or lingering. The body is lean and refreshing, allowing the delicate balance of malt and hops to shine without interference.

The finish is clean and dry, with the soft hop character fading gracefully into a crisp, lingering hop quality. No cloying sweetness or rough edges remain, only a gentle, drying minerality that encourages the next sip.
