◌ Aroma

The nose is led by characteristic Belgian yeast esters—a complex blend of subtle fruit notes with hints of pear and stone fruit. Beneath the yeast lies a light, delicate malt sweetness balanced by the mineral character imparted by the island's distinctive water. Noble hops contribute a restrained, floral undertone without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean, yeasty entry that develops into soft fruity notes—apple and subtle honey—creating a gently sweet mid-palate. The mineral-rich water provides a refined structure and subtle salinity. The finish transitions smoothly into a gentle bitterness that is refreshing rather than aggressive, leaving the mouth feeling clean and balanced.
