◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshing, with crisp malt structure meeting moderate hop bitterness that frames without overpowering. Mid-palate develops fruity complexity—apple and pear notes—balanced by a gentle honeyed sweetness and light, smooth body. Finish dries gradually without astringency, leaving a hoppy, refreshing aftertaste.
