◐ Taste

Entry brings immediate fruity sweetness from yuzu and floral notes, settling into a soft, pillowy wheat malt mid-palate with oat-derived smoothness. Bitterness remains subdued at 14 IBU, allowing the citrus and elderflower to dominate while hop resin adds gentle texture. The finish is crisp and clean.

Serve at 5–8°C

Serve cold at 7–10°C. The hazy wheat base and fresh yeast character shine when the beer is crisp and cold.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within 4–6 months. Wheat beers are designed to be fresh — the yeast character diminishes with age.
