◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and rounded, with caramel malt sweetness establishing the foundation immediately. Mid-palate develops a balanced bitterness from American hops—measured at 30 IBU, it never overwhelms, instead providing gentle counterpoint to the residual malt character. The finish is dry and clean, without astringency.
