◌ Aroma

The nose leads with subtle cereal and corn grain notes, supported by gentle florality from the noble Hallertauer and Tettnanger hops. Motueka contributes restrained citrus character—lime and white grapefruit—without dominating. Overall, the aroma remains balanced and inviting, with minimal hop intensity.

◐ Taste

On the palate, a light, clean entry develops into a soft malt character with breadiness from the 2-row and flaked corn base. Citrus and floral notes weave through the mid-palate without assertiveness. Low bitterness (12 IBU) maintains balance, allowing the crisp, smooth profile to sustain a refreshing drinking experience throughout.
