◌ Aroma

The nose opens with distinct malt character—soft, bready notes dominate, complemented by gentle cereal sweetness typical of the Export style.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and full-bodied, with layered malt flavors providing breadiness and light caramel notes. Mid-palate develops a gentle, grainy sweetness that maintains balance through restrained noble-hop bitterness (19 IBU). The finish arrives crisp and refreshing, with a clean attenuation that prevents any cloying character, making this a genuinely approachable winter lager.
