◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus character, prominently featuring grapefruit and orange peel alongside a subtle floral undertone.

Beneath the hop-driven aromatics, soft wheat and pale malt provide a clean, grainy foundation.

Entry is clean and crisp with pronounced citrus flavours that mirror the aroma—grapefruit and orange zest dominate the mid-palate. A gentle, well-balanced bitterness emerges without harshness, supported by the wheat malt's subtle sweetness. The finish remains dry and refreshing, with the hop bitterness fading gracefully into a light, clean aftertaste.
