◌ Aroma

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and malty, with a soft breadiness that anchors the mid-palate without heaviness. Light noble-hop bitterness arrives in measured fashion—18 IBU delivers just enough definition to prevent flatness, while the finish remains crisp and refreshing. The malt character persists gently, suggesting the quality of barley and the purity of the brewery's own well water.
