◐ Taste

The palate leads with robust malt character and toasted bread flavors, building into a smooth caramel sweetness that defines the mid-palate. Subtle nutty undertones provide complexity, while balanced hop bitterness (18 IBU) arrives with restraint, creating harmony rather than dominance. Medium body carries flavors cleanly without heaviness.
