◐ Taste

The palate is soft and balanced, with clean malt backbone supporting the hop profile without overwhelming sweetness. Centennial and Cascade deliver moderate bitterness at 38 IBU, playing off subtle peachy notes from fermentation. The body is light to medium, allowing the fruity yeast character and citrus hop notes to remain in dialogue rather than domination.
