◐ Taste

The palate opens with a solid malt backbone that provides structure and a moderate sweetness, immediately followed by a well-proportioned hop bitterness that builds through the mid-palate. Citrus and tropical fruit character echoes the aroma, balancing nicely with 60 IBU of measured bitterness that finishes clean rather than aggressive.
