◐ Taste

Full-bodied entry with rich malt sweetness, wheat providing a soft, slightly grainy texture. Mid-palate brings forward the banana character with a gentle yeasty complexity, while low bitterness (20 IBU) allows the malt flavors to develop unimpeded. The 7.3% alcohol creates a subtle boozy note that amplifies the warming sensation without overwhelming.
