◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with caramel sweetness as the dominant character. The mid-palate deepens with a gentle chocolate note and orange zest acidity, while restrained bitterness (25 IBU) keeps the beer balanced without harshness. The overall impression is soft and approachable rather than assertive.
