◌ Aroma

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and balanced, with malt-forward character giving way to a measured bitterness that builds steadily. Pilsner malt contributes subtle bread notes and a light sweetness in the mid-palate. Hop bitterness remains gentle and integrated, never aggressive, finishing dry and crisp.
