◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced malty sweetness, offering notes of pale caramel and light toffee from the rich malt bill. Noble hops contribute a subtle floral and herbal character without dominating, while the lager yeast maintains a clean, neutral backdrop that allows the malt complexity to shine through.
