◐ Taste

Entry is soft and well-rounded, with a clean malt base that develops into a crisp, refreshing mid-palate. The herbal hop bitterness is restrained at 22 IBU, allowing the carefully selected malts to express themselves with a distinctive mineral edge that drives the overall drying effect. The finish is dry and thirst-quenching.
