◌ Aroma

The nose opens gently with soft malty sweetness complemented by subtle spice notes—likely from yeast and traditional Belgian brewing additives. Wheat malt contributes a light, bready undertone, while noble hops provide a restrained herbal whisper in the background. The overall impression is inviting and graceful rather than assertive, with no harsh alcohol vapours despite the 6.2% ABV.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a welcoming sweetness from the malt bill, immediately followed by a delicate spice character that unfolds across the mid-palate. Wheat and barley malt create a smooth, full-bodied foundation, while the controlled bitterness (22 IBU) emerges as a balancing counterpoint without dominating. A whisper of honey and fruity yeast esters adds complexity, keeping the beer engaging without heaviness.
