Pale golden hue with bright, translucent clarity. A fine white head forms and clings to the glass in delicate lacing as you drink. Carbonation is visible and well-integrated, creating a lively but controlled bead.

◌ Aroma

Clean malt foundation with notes of soft bread crust and light honey, courtesy of Vienna and Pilsner malts. Noble hop character emerges gently—floral and herbal from Tettnang—without dominating. The cool fermentation and extended lagering lend a crisp, yeasty cleanliness to the nose.

◐ Taste

Smooth, approachable entry that emphasizes malt sweetness balanced by restrained noble-hop bitterness. Mid-palate carries toasted grain and a subtle herbal snap from Tettnang, then finishes dry and crisp without harshness. At 5.8% ABV, it drinks effortlessly—quenching without heaviness.
