◐ Taste

Entry is bright and hoppy with immediate citrus flavors that develop into a full-bodied palate. The moderate bitterness (38 IBU) arrives in the mid-palate without overwhelming, supported by a sturdy malty backbone that provides structure and subtle bread notes. The balance between hop character and malt sweetness remains well-integrated throughout.
