Tasting Notes

Pale golden in color with bright clarity and fine carbonation. A creamy white head forms readily and clings well to the glass, leaving persistent lacing with each sip. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, typical of a well-crafted lager.

Aroma

The nose leads with soft malt character — bready and slightly toasted notes emerge first. Subtle honey and caramel sweetness sit beneath, with a restrained noble hop presence that adds gentle herbal restraint. The overall profile is approachable and balanced, free of harsh alcohol vapors.

Taste

Full-bodied on entry, with layered malt complexity unfolding across the palate. Honey and caramel notes provide sweetness without cloying; a nutty undertone adds depth. Moderate bitterness (22 IBU) arrives mid-palate as a gentle frame rather than a focal point, maintaining overall smoothness and balance.

Finish

The finish is clean and lingering, with a subtle boozy warmth that underscores the 5.8% ABV. Malt character fades gradually, leaving a light toasty dryness and residual honey sweetness on the palate.
