◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright fruit esters—green apple, pear, and subtle stone fruit—complemented by delicate honey notes that add warmth and roundness. Noble hop character is restrained but present, offering a gentle floral background without assertiveness. The overall aromatic profile is clean and balanced, with a soft yeast presence that frames rather than dominates.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is smooth and approachable, with honeyed malt sweetness balancing the fruit-forward character. Mid-palate brings subtle complexity from the interplay of soft fruit notes and a light grainy foundation, while bitterness remains gentle and well-integrated at 22 IBU. The body is medium and refined, with no harshness or cloying residue.
