Lemon peel leads the bouquet with bright, sharp citrus notes that dominate from the first nosing. Belgian yeast contributes a subtle peppery and faintly spicy undertone, while Bravo and Citra hops add herbal complexity without overwhelming the citrus character.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with pronounced citrus character backed by light, crisp body and a dry profile that unfolds cleanly across the mid-palate. Lemon peel sharpness mingles with gentle spice from the Belgian yeast and a measured hop bitterness, creating a balanced interplay without acidity dominating the impression.
◑ Finish
A dry, herbal finish persists with lingering citrus and spice notes. The aftertaste remains crisp and hoppy without harshness, fading gradually into a clean, refreshing conclusion.
