Aroma

The nose is clean and subtle, with gentle malt notes suggesting light bread and grain sweetness. A soft, almost mineral quality emerges beneath, characteristic of lager fermentation. Low hop presence remains restrained, allowing the malt foundation to define the aromatic profile without aggression.
