Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, reflective surface. A delicate white head forms and dissipates quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. Fine carbonation is evident throughout, creating a gentle effervescence characteristic of the style.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light, malty sweetness and a full mouthfeel that belies the low alcohol and gravity. A moderate bitter finish arrives mid-palate from the 22 IBU, crisp and refreshing rather than harsh. The beer maintains a smooth, nearly creamy texture throughout, with a bready undertone that enhances the grain character without becoming heavy.
