◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced floral honey notes that dominate the profile, joined by soft spice undertones—likely coriander or mild herbal character. Supporting malt sweetness provides a gentle caramel backdrop without overwhelming the honey's presence.

◐ Taste

Honey sweetness leads the palate, tempered by a restrained bitterness and subtle spice that arrives in the mid-palate. The malt foundation offers warmth and softness without heaviness, while the 28 IBU provide just enough edge to balance the adjunct sweetness. The body remains smooth and approachable throughout.
