◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and smooth, delivering a balanced malty sweetness that carries through from entry to mid-palate. Noble hop bitterness (18 IBU) provides gentle restraint without assertiveness, allowing the malt character to remain the focal point. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with a dry, clean conclusion that invites the next sip.
