The nose opens with vibrant herbal and piney notes characteristic of fresh wet hops, layered with delicate floral impressions and subtle citrus undertones. The pale malt provides a clean backdrop without competing, allowing the green-hop character to dominate. There is an immediate sense of seasonal immediacy and mineral minerality that suggests water and earth.
