◐ Taste

Brisk entry with immediate hop bitterness that builds through the mid-palate, reaching 60 IBUs of measured intensity. The emmer malt contribution adds a faint cereal texture that balances the dry bitterness without introducing cloying sweetness. Crisp, refreshing finish with lingering resinous notes from noble hops.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
