◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with immediate hop bitterness that builds steadily across the palate. Citrus and floral hop character dominates the mid-palate, with subtle fruity undertones emerging alongside a lean malt frame. Bitterness is well-integrated rather than harsh, finishing with a dry, hoppy punch.
