◐ Taste

On the palate, a soft, bready maltiness takes the lead, carrying notes of grain and a whisper of honey throughout the mid-palate. The traditional Edelhopfen contribute a gentle, refined bitterness that integrates smoothly rather than dominating. Medium body and moderate carbonation create a crisp, easy-drinking character that remains elegant and balanced.
