◌ Aroma

Bright and inviting, with fresh passion fruit at the forefront—tropical and slightly floral notes that dominate the nose. Supporting aromas of citrus zest and a subtle grainy sweetness from the pale malt and oats emerge beneath, creating a harmonious, summery profile without any harsh or vinegary edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a gentle fruitiness that carries the passion fruit character from nose to mouth, balanced by a restrained tartness that defines the sour style without dominating. The wheat and oats contribute a soft, slightly creamy body and subtle breadiness, while the minimal bitterness (10 IBU) allows the fruit and acidity to remain the focus through the mid-palate.

◑ Finish

Clean and refreshing, with the acidity fading to leave a residual fruitiness and a dry, slightly grainy aftertaste. The finish is medium-short, leaving the mouth feeling crisp and ready for another sip.
