◌ Aroma

The nose opens with gentle, refined aroma hop character—floral and slightly herbal notes that emerge without aggression.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and well-rounded, with a mild sweetness that carries through the mid-palate without cloying. The Malz character expresses as bready and slightly sweet, balanced by restrained bitterness (18 IBU) that arrives late and finishes dry. The palate remains light and refreshing throughout, with good balance between residual sweetness and crisp hop definition.
