◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced floral hop notes that mingle seamlessly with soft, rounded malt character. Subtle breadiness emerges beneath, grounded by the noble hop profile typical of the Görlitz brewing tradition. There is no harsh resinosity; instead, the aromatics convey elegance and balance.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and round, with malt providing the foundation and a gentle, woven bitterness (22 IBU) preventing cloying sweetness. Floral hop flavors persist through the mid-palate without dominating, while a clean, crisp character keeps the beer drinking smoothly. The body is substantial yet never heavy, making each sip approachable.

◑ Finish

The finish is malt-driven and lingering, with a pleasant warmth that fades gradually. A whisper of hop bitterness remains, leaving the palate refreshed rather than parched.
