◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light, clean malt character carrying restrained honey and biscuit notes, followed by a gentle citrus flourish from the German hops in the mid-palate. The bitterness is restrained at 20 IBU, offering just enough definition to frame the sweet malt without creating harshness. The beer drinks dry and crisp, its low alcohol weight allowing the individual flavors to shine without heaviness.
