◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe guava and golden mango aromatics that are immediately juicy and inviting, followed by soft banana notes that add creamy roundness. A subtle tartness underlies the stone fruit profile, while the wheat and pale malt provide a light, grainy foundation without dominating the fruit-forward character.

◐ Taste

Entry is silky and fruit-saturated, with guava and mango sweetness anchored by a gentle acidity that frames rather than overwhelms the palate. The mid-palate develops a smooth, creamy mouthfeel from the banana and wheat, while the sour pitch adds definition without harshness, resolving into a balanced, approachable finish.
