◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a delicate white head that clings to the glass in fine lacework. The carbonation is gentle and persistent, characteristic of a properly conditioned wheat beer. The light body and pristine clarity speak to precise brewing and the beer's low color intensity.

◌ Aroma

Smoke dominates the nose with an immediate woodiness that recalls smoldering wood fires and kiln-dried grain. Beneath this, bright orchard fruit emerges—pear and green apple—mingled with subtle herbal notes that suggest a touch of aged hops. The aromatic profile is austere and historically grounded, without any sweet grain character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a pronounced tart and sour character that cuts cleanly across the tongue, anchored by subtle smoke that integrates throughout. Mid-palate reveals dry, crisp fruit notes and a restrained herbal finish without aggressive bitterness. The 10 IBU provides structure rather than bite, allowing the tartness and smokiness to lead the flavor arc.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and drying, with lingering tartness and a faint smokiness that fades gracefully. No sweetness remains; the aftertaste is mineral-like and refreshing, inviting another sip.
