◐ Taste

The palate opens with creamy mouthfeel and strong banana-bread flavors balanced by gentle roasted character and caramel sweetness. Mid-palate reveals wheat grain and subtle dark fruit notes, while the minimal bitterness (15 IBU) allows the yeast-driven esters and spice to shine. Full-bodied and smooth throughout without any harshness.
