The nose is restrained and refined, opening with delicate herbal and floral hop character. Fresh breadiness and light grain sweetness form the foundation, contributing a clean, inviting grain-forward base without assertiveness.
◐ Taste
Entry is smooth and gently malty, with soft grain character dominating the palate. Bitterness remains low and well-integrated, never sharp or intrusive. The mid-palate stays rounded and clean, allowing subtle spice notes to emerge without dominating.
◑ Finish
