◌ Aroma

Violet flower dominates the nose, lending an elegant floral character layered with green, woody undertones that speak to the wild fermentation process. Herbal and grassy notes emerge beneath, while the 18-month aging contributes subtle funk and a soft sourness. Sweet whispers of honey and orchard fruit round out the bouquet without overwhelming the delicate balance.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with muted sweetness and pronounced floral character, followed by a gentle wave of herbaceous and grassy complexity. The sourness arrives smoothly rather than sharply, balanced by the beer's underlying sweetness and a dry, funky mid-palate that hints at fermentation character. Mild bitterness and subtle tart fruit round out the finish without aggressive edges.
