Taste

The palate opens crisp and refreshing with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel derived from the oat bill. Mid-palate delivers balanced hop bitterness and subtle grain character without overwhelming the palate, leading into a medium body that feels fuller than its light ABV suggests. The finish transitions seamlessly with restrained bitterness and clean grain notes.
