◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp, clean malt flavors that establish the beer's lager foundation, transitioning into a richer mid-palate with gentle caramel sweetness and warming character. Low bitterness (16 IBU) allows the malt-forward profile to shine without sharp hop bite, creating a smooth drinking experience. The extra body from elevated ABV provides substance without heaviness, balancing sweetness with refined restraint.
