◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and zesty, with citrus and pepper flavors taking center stage before giving way to a balanced malty mid-palate. The grain complexity—barley, wheat, rye, and oats—adds depth and slight bread-like notes. Bitterness is restrained and refined at 15 IBU, allowing hop character to shine without aggression.
