◌ Aroma

The nose opens with restrained citrus notes—lemon zest and light orange pith—paired with delicate floral impressions reminiscent of freshly cut flowers and garden grasses. A subtle wheat grain undertone emerges beneath, grounding the composition without dominating. The overall impression is fresh, open, and inviting rather than perfumed or assertive.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing with gentle grain sweetness from the wheat malt, followed by a clean, dry mid-palate with soft herbal and grassy character. The 14 IBU provide modest bitterness that integrates harmoniously, never dominating. Light breadiness appears on the palate, rounding the flavor without adding heaviness.

Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
