◐ Taste

Entry is soft and juicy with the tropical hop character carrying through smoothly. Mid-palate balances gentle malt sweetness with hop-driven fruit; the 40 IBU bitterness arrives gradually and sits comfortably in the background rather than dominating. Clean, dry malt body provides a restrained frame.
