◐ Taste

Bright acidity hits the palate at entry, carried by cherry juice that softens without masking the underlying tartness. The mid-palate balances crisp, citrusy notes with a gentle dryness, while the zero IBU profile allows the sour character to stand unimpeded. Body remains light and refreshing throughout.
